You know what you need? Socks.
But not just any socks: soft, warm, GORGEOUS and stylish socks.
Sock Dreams has generously donated two sets of prizes to Tor.com for Steampunk month! The first is a pair of O Chevrons over the knee stockings, in red/black. The second is a pair of M Stockings, long ribbed socks, also in dark red. Both also come with a $10 gift certificate to Sock Dreams! These things are beautiful and totally luxurious, and I cannot imagine anyone not totally loving them. I have been fondling them between typing paragraphs. (I’m not proud.)
The gift certificates are good for anything in her store, and the selection is just unbelievable. She has big soft wooly socks, anklet socks, stockings, pantyhose, kids & baby socks, men’s socks, and so much more. The designs range from the simple to beautifully complex, so there really is something for everyone.
The Rules: To get this giveaway, all you need to do is comment (once—duplicates won’t count) on this post. The winners will be selected at random. You have until noon EST on Thursday, October 29th, to comment here. Please check your e-mail on this day—you have 24 hours to respond before I select a new winner.
Torie Atkinson may not make it through Steampunk Month without emptying her own wallet.
Well now, this is too good to pass up! Who could turn down cozy wool socks with winter trying to get in the door???

I love this store. Too bad most of what they sell won’t fit my giant feet.
I’ve lusted over the stockings at Sock Dreams, but I’ve never bought anything there!
These look like something my wife would rather enjoy.
You folkses keep tempting me with too many new books, new sites, and new money sumps for my liking!
Nice, I totally need to get those for the GF.
Socks are good.
socks!
Wow! I want my girl using those! :D
OMG SOX!
I must have more socks!
Yes, please!
Incredibly socksy? ;)
Sock me!
Fuzzy and perfect for fall …
They would look really good in these: http://bit.ly/4gadZg
With all the cold weather coming looming on my doorstep, perfect!
Sweet, socks!
Those are lovely socks.
My fiancee would look soxy in them!
As Prince George (Hugh Laurie) said:
“You know, Blackadder, for me socks are like sex. Lots of it about and I never seem to get any.”
OMG! I want some so bad!
SOCKS!!
Oh, my, yes.
I don’t have enough good words to say about them, or their socks, but I love every pair I’ve got. And they certainly do some excellent mens’ styles, for men whose socks show.
yes. yes I do need these, Tor, how did you know?
I need these. Now that winter is upon us my feet are always freaking cold!
Love these socks!
Another item sure to impress.
My wife has informed me that I will be sleeping on the couch if I don’t enter this contest.
I just *bought* socks from them. Love them! Enter meeeee. :-)
You can never have too many pairs of socks.

Yes, definitely something my fiancee needs.
You know what? I *do* need socks for steampunk month!
Socks are one of my favorite things ever, no lie. This store looks awesome.

Awesome! Count me in.

I am a huge sockdreams.com fan, and have a huge sockdreams.com collection (including the O Chevrons in dark red, but with white detailing), and I would always love to add to said collection (or even start spreading the love to others)!
Sockage
oh socks how I lust for thee!
Goodness you are correct, these socks are EXACTLY what I need
Nice socks.
Socks are awesome!
mmmmm comfy warm socks!
um–
I swear that I’m just doing this for my stocking-obsessed girlfriend. I hereby throw my hat into the ring! (Can I have it back now, it’s a nice hat)
Enter me, please! I love socks!
Yes please!
ok
my girlfriend would love these…
:)
Commenting! I see Christmas presents…
I could use a new pair of socks, my old sets are starting to get holes lol. Happy Steampunk Month!
Yes, please!
I can only dream of getting these. Not for myself, but for a somewhat significant other.
I think my husband would be disappointed if I don’t enter for socks.
Gotta love socks!
Oh my gosh, I want these so bad! Pantyhose I hate, but long socks I love! My long socks are all holey and sad…a new pair would make my skinny legs so happy!
keep me tootsies warm!!!
Those look scrumptious
Can’t resist the soft socks…
I hope I win!!
I like Sock Dreams. I will warn everyone though: the really high thigh-high socks? Way too narrow for girls of actual life size. Really. If your thighs are larger than your biceps, probably not gonna fit. But their other socks are bueno. Also, they have sock garters. Way too cute to pass up.
sock dreams is absolutely amazing; i own three pairs already, with more planned, even if i don’t win :)
Oh, I love Sock Dreams! Their selection is just fantastic. I hope hope hope to win!
Mmm, socks.
Sock Dreams is the best, and now that it’s getting chilly, who can’t use a pair of over the knee socks?
An Australian expat in for her first snowy central Illinois winter – warm socks are needed!
I have spent hundreds at sockdreams. Love it!!!
When is this random choosing? *crosses fingers*
Oooh, those ribbed M stockings look amazing. I might have to buy a pair.
Thank you for having a giveaway c:
Mmm, I love sockdreams! They’re so wonderful!
I like to visit this store at least once in a month. It is amazing.
fathers day
Mmm, fuzzies!
It would be a shock
but really neat

The chevron socks are one of my favourite styles from Sock Dreams, I would love a chance at some.
mmm, sockalicious.
beautiful! perfect for fall.
Those look great!
Please, my feet and legs are soooo cold! May I have the socks;)
Aren’t Sock Dreams just the awesomest? (is that even a word?)
That would be a perfect and unexpected gift for my daughter with her often cold legs.

Nice socks.
My wife and brother-in-law love sockdreams!
I’m both Steampunk and knitting obsessed right now, these socks are fabulous! xxx
Oooooh! :)
Hooray for sock dreams!
I do need new socks, the only long socks I have at the moment are all coloured and stripey, which sometimes just does not match what I need to wear for work.
Socks are pretty much the best.
Ooh those look fantastic and cozy!
I love Sock Dreams. I have some socks from there that I wear as often as possible without destroying them. Red and black knee socks with FLAMES!
Tomorrow I probably won’t have socks, but right now I have probabilistic socks!
Sock Dreams is where I get all my fingerless gloves and thigh-high socks! They have such great service and quality.
These socks would be lovely for the cold, cold winter ahead.
Sock it to me! And when they’re old and worn, a sock puppet could be born.
Everyone could use more socks!
Under the wire! (-ish)
Tim Palecek need socks!
Can never have enough sox.
Sockdreams is great
Oddly enough, my daughter has been searching for just such socks.
These are great!
Do you know design students or fans of animated sci-fi? If so, please forward this to them. They might be very interested in meeting Jeffrey.. Thanks, james

Tuesday, November 17th from 6 to 9 PM.
Writer and Production Designer Jeffrey Morris will be on hand to sign his amazing new sci-fi book Slingshot and debut a spectacular trailer for the project.
Slingshot: Jupiter Conspiracy is the first ‘DIY Sci-Fi’ project of its kind.
Combining a screenplay, technical manual, and prestige art book, Slingshot delivers action, adventure, and compelling characters—all contained in a story grounded by real science.
With backgrounds in numerous areas of media—from illustration and design to screenwriting and visual effects—the Slingshot team has created a new and compelling vision of the future. Since 2007, over $1,000,000 of creative development has occurred on the property.
Taking place at Jupiter and its moons in the year 2100, Slingshot is story about the thirst for energy, the quest for speed, and the discovery of alien life.
The 176-page book includes over 200 pieces of stunning production art and technical information from NASA scientists and engineers with a Foreword written by Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
Mixing the corporate intrigue of Aliens, the space combat of Battlestar Galactica and a universe as fully-realized as Star Trek, Slingshot is a ‘must have” for all fans of high-quality, hard science fiction.
