Well now you have a chance to win a pair of your very own! You have the WHOLE weekend to enter for your free pair of adorable thigh high baby socks from my awesome friends over at Socklings. I will randomly pick and announce a winner on Monday, so don't forget to check back in then.

Ok, here's how you do it:

Easy right? Ok, onto step 2.

2. You must FOLLOW the Socklings Instagram page, which of course is right HERE.

Yay! You did it! Almost done.

3. Now you must comment at the bottom of this post. You can comment with anything you'd like, but you get an extra name in the drawing if you tell me who will be wearing the Socklings if you win (i.e. Mira, 22 months, pulls off her socks within seconds of having them put on).

YAY! YOU ARE READY! Now that you've done all that work, here's some awesome stuff to read about Socklings and how they came to be.

I sat down with Socklings Owner and Creator Ericka Chapman to get the details.

How did you get into creating clothing? 

Having a desire to create fashions all started when I was a child. I would take pieces of scrap fabric from my mother’s sewing room and turn those discarded textiles into beautiful gowns for my Barbie dolls, displaying each one like a model strutting down the catwalk. And it remains my dream to this day; to create something meaningful out of nothing, and become part of the fashion industry. Little did I know that my dream would become a reality once my daughter was born.

How did the idea of Socklings come about? 

When my daughter was just a couple months old I struggled with keeping her socks on her feet. They would be on her little feet, snug as a bug, until she started wiggling and trying to crawl. The moment her tiny feet touched the floor, carpet, or her tiny hands, her socks would instantly fly off as if she had some magical superpower! I tried to solve this problem with tights but after a few dirty diaper changes, I realized that was an even worse idea. So I sat down at my sewing machine grabbed some fabric and started cutting and sewing; this was the day Socklings was born. I knew I had to create a solution for lost socks for parents everywhere and that is what I did.

Besides being adorable and functional, what else makes Socklings unique? 

When you buy a pair of Socklings, you are essentially making an investment. These are socks that not only will stay on your child's feet (side note from Whitney: this is completely true. Mira CANNOT take off these socks by herself, which is amazing), but they will grow with your child and continue to be functional for years to come. We have families who have passed down Socklings from child to child, and they are almost impossible to lose. I guarantee you that if you look in your child's sock drawer right now, you will find at LEAST one lonely sock in there without a match. Socklings are easy to keep track of so you end up saving that money that you would have spent on buying a new pair of socks every month to make up for the ones that have mysteriously disappeared. Also, Socklings are 100% made in the US, from the materials to the manufacturing.
