Our Sock Monkey has a name!

Our Sock Monkey has a name! She will now be officially known as SOCKETTA! Isn't that a super name for a sock monkey who is knitting a sock! Marietta suggested it - thanks Marietta. Hope you will drop by soon for your prize!  Interesting isn't it - the similarity of Marietta's name and our mascot's new name!

We received lots of great names.Thanks to all of you who entered our contest. It was fun!

If you look closely at SOCKETTA - you will notice that she has had cosmetic (knitting) surgery. Her face has been re-aligned, her neck has had a "tuck" or two, her ears have been straightened and her personal surgeon (knitter) has toned the muscles (removed some stuffing) in her upper arms, so she would look more lady-like! I wish it was as easy for us to have cosmetic surgery!

PS. How about you make your very own sock monkey or one for someone special. We have the pattern which includes 10 different sock monkeys - both knit and crochet - plus lots of colours of yarn for you to pick from. Everyone loves and needs a sock monkey!

I will share pictures of our customer's sock monkeys as they bring them in for a visit!

On March 6th, I sent you a picture of a plant in my living room with a few pink flowers on it. I sent it then because I figured that was likely all the flowers it was going to have. Surprise - take a look at it now. It is absolutely beautiful. It is covered with a couple of hundred bright pink flowers with more opening up every day. Unfortunately it does not have any perfume to go along with the wonderful blooms. It obviously likes my living room window. It is supposed to go outside again once the weather gets nice but I just might have to keep it in the house.

Have fun knitting and crocheting!
