Photo Requirements
Be sure your photos are in focus!
- A photo showing your socks on adult feet or on blockers/faux feet.
- A front view of both socks laying flat and stretched to show the pattern. This may need to be on blockers or pinned to a board so that the sock lays flat. See post 3 in the question thread for reference.
- A back view of both socks laying flat, stretched to show the pattern, with the heel visible. This may need to be on blockers or pinned to a board so that the sock lays flat. See post 3 in question thread for reference.
- A close up of the bobbles on the back of the sock.
- A side view of both socks laying flat, stretched to show the pattern, and facing the same direction. This may need to be pinned on a board so that the socks lay flat. See post 3 in question thread for reference.
