We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 9, 2012.

100 percent and the future of Bloc Socks

Update #6 · Aug 3, 2012 · comment

We did it!

Thanks to everyone for making Bloc Socks a reality with all of your generous support. This has been a great day for me, my grandmother, and her friends in Patalenitsa. The women are ecstatic that the fundraising in America worked, and they wish you could all come visit. 

Now, we are looking toward the future. If we can raise a little more in the last week, we can do some exciting things for the future of Bloc Socks.

At 10,000 dollars we can hire a photographer to take professional shots of all the socks and the women.

With 12,000 dollars, we can revamp our website, creating a lasting platform for the women of Patalenitsa to sell their knitwear. 

You can help us make a final push by posting this link and tagging friends you think would be interested. http://bit.ly/NLrrqW

Thanks again for all of your contributions!
