I designed Squiggley Madness to represent what Sock Madness means to me: Flowers for the friendships we develop and grow together through the love of knitting socks. Diamonds for how through sharing techniques and learning together we strengthen each others knitting skills. And yes lots of little chaotic wiggly squiggles: the hitting refresh a million times to see if the patterns dropped yet!, the socks we throw in the corner only to pick back up again as your team cheers you on, the random prizes, the laughter and frustrations we share, the dropped stitches/wrong stitches we mend, the late night sock photography and all the chaotic madness around trying to knit a pair of socks as fast as you can.
