Neeta heard her phone ringing, so she picked it up. This was Linda, her friend, saying, “Hey Neeta, what are you doing this coming week?”
Neeta replied, “You know, David is planning to go to basketball as he does every year, so we are moving to Arizona for a week or maybe we will stay there for longer. What are you planning?”
Linda said, “I am planning to do sock madness this year. Actually, I am looking for the bragging rights and new socks out of it.”
Hey, isn’t it totally crazy? I have heard about it because one of my friends did it last year.
Oh yeah, same here. One of my friends, Nina, convinced me that a friend had done it the year before and she convinced me to try it last year, but last year we were off to Petersburg for St. Patrick’s Day, so I am doing it this year. I thought you would join my team, so I called you, but maybe next year. It’s fun, it’s March Madness."

How many members are on your team, Linda?
Linda replied, “I am the 12th. You know, it was started by Martina three years ago and then she invited her friends, then she convinced one more, and then each of them asked their friends to join us. Now we are 12. I thought you would like to join us too, as you love knitting and you knit fast. It’s really fun.
Nina laughed, “My mother used to knit, and she knit really fast. She was crazy about knitting and choosing patterns. Maybe next year, I will join in the fun because I would love to grab some of those patterns myself, even if I don’t qualify. You know, I love knitting socks. “
Linda said, “I know, I won’t be able to win the March Madness, but I am crazy about those cute designs, so I am going to do something unique.” But I am sure Martina will win. She is going to reach the final round, as she is super fast. But one thing is for sure, I am going to do my best even if I don’t win. “
You are right, Linda. If you love something and have time to compete and win, then why not? I will join you next year. All the best.
