OzKnitter is having a contest to guess what yarn she’s using to knit socks right now. So far we know it’s Regia – but which Regia? The prize is a packet of TimTams, that famous Australian chocolate biscuit/cookie.
Amy’s having a contest – read about how her Day of the Dead knitting is going (or rather isn’t going) and leave a comment answering her question by October 25. The prize will probably be Socks That Rock or Lorna’s Laces yarn.
Last night, Jeanne and I stopped at Crafty Planet to scope out their bib yarn, um, I mean Sugar’n'Cream, and what did Jeanne spy in the window but one of the infamous Sock Monkey Dresses! (Hey, you can buy one for a mere $1,500US, MamaTulip!) Jeanne got a great picture of me with the dress, too.
The wonderful (but tragically blogless) RachelH sent me a very cool tin sign – thank you, Rachel! It will be perfect in my kitchen. (Plus it was a great thing to find waiting for me at work on my first day back.)
We haven’t had a Chaos and May size comparison for a while…
Agh! Its the sock monkey dress again! Does it ever go away??
Love the sign.. I’m always on the lookout for cool ‘vintage’ stuff with black cats..
there is something soooo wrong about the sock monkey dress.
the little kitty will soon be as big as the big kitty.
it looks like they becoming friends.
being an aussie, I can confirm that the ‘pink’ tim tams are yummy!
Ooo, my most favourite cookie!
I can’t imagine anyone buying the dress unless they were collecting stuff for a WTF museum!
Julia’s standing next to me providing commentary for the pictures:
Picture #1: Mummy, who’s that? Who’s that? Who’s that?
Picture #2: Look at the kitty!
Pictures #3 and 4: TWO KITTIES! The two kitties are rolling all over! Awww! It’s a mummy and a daddy kitty! LOOK, MUMMY!
(The tin sign is VERY COOL.)
I think I am going to gag now (sock monkeys DO NOT belong as part of dress architecture).
What a cute sign! The kitties look like they are fast friends now too.
Sock monkeys freak me out, and that dress would probably make me run across to the other side of the street if I saw it!
Hehe Chaos has the cutest stubby little tail! I never really noticed it until now.
I want to see some wacked out high schooler rent that dress and wear it to prom.
Hey Chris- I like the picture of you and the dress- I think someone was really creative to come up with that- it’s just a bit of fun, and sometimes we take our knitting way too seriously.
Whenever I get frustrated, I try to remind myself that this is a hobby and I’m supposed to be having fun.
The Chaos/Mayhem picture looks like a giant 8-legged feline.
Eek! It’s the attack of the black blob monster!
Oh my god, I wish you could have tried it ON!
Oh they look so cute together!
Oh Chris, I wish you could have tried it ON!
I won’t embarrass Chaos about his short tail. He’s a guy – he’s supposed to have heft…so his tail can, too! What a cute photo of them together. I LOVE the black cat kitchen tin!!!
And I won’t “go there” about the sock monkey dress..I just won’t – tho’ the shot of you is good!
(((hugs)))
That sock monkey dress is hilarious!
Chaos and Mayhem look so cute together! May is getting big. You may already know this, but Michael’s has all their yarn on sale this week and Sugar & Cream is a buck a ball if you’re looking to stock up.
That’s a great picture of you on Jeanne’s blog — but see my comment there.
Your kitties are so sleek and shiny, the picture of kitty health (shorn butt notwithstanding).
That dress…. wrong, so wrong.
The kitties look like the best of friends now! That didn’t take so long.
That dress is unbelieveable!
Is the dress as impressive in person as it is in the pics? The massive amount of yarn that must go into that is astounding!
That tin sign is awesome too! May is catching up to Chaos, isn’t she?
That dress is so goofy! I live only a few blocks from Crafty Planet. Lets just say it is often the direction I head when going out for a walk!
So for that price you snapped up a few of the sock monkey dresses?
Poor baby! Having a migraine on your last day of vacation. That’s just wrong.
Mayhem isn’t as big as she thinks she is…
I’m stunned you didn’t pick up the sock monkey dress. It’s gorgeous and very sexy.
Haha, that dress is hilarious! I’m sending the link to a friend who would have probably bought that for her wedding dress if she had known about it…she’s wild about monkeys, especially sock monkeys. Crazy.
I just love seeing both of them together.
That dress is bizarre!
Ack!! It’s the sock monkey dress again! I’d be tempted to wear that to some function if I didn’t have to pay $1500 for the privilege.
That tin sign is cool.
Sock monkey and dress should NEVER appear in the same sentence. It would NOT get the Good Mousekeeping Seal of Approval.
Are they, like, making out?
Yeah, Gandalf tries to remind Atticus and Mae about how big he’s getting. Nice try, little dude.
Hope the rest of the week back went OK!
OMG at the sock-monkey dress. I want it, and yet… I’m a little scared of it. LOL.
I can’t believe you got to see it up close & personal!!! Lucky duck!!!
Great picture of Jeanne! The tin sign is so cool!
I totally LOVE that tin sign.
Man, Mayhem is growing by leaps and bounds!
OMG–I’ve never seen a sock-monkey dress. The sock-monkey as a toy was scary enough!
I love the good mousekeeping sign–how awesome!
Nice picture of you. You look good.
Isn’t it amazing how quickly the kittens grow!? That tin sign is great!
I saw the infamous sock monkey dress on the web somewhere else too. It’s like a bad nightmare come to life.
oooh–LOVE the sock monkey dress!
did you try it on? hehhehheh
how is Chaos feeling? obviously, he must pretend to be completely fit, if for no other reason than to foil Miss May…
Chaos is so wonderful with May – what a cool kitty he is! Very neat sign too, just perfect for your household of mousekeepers
How jealous am I that you’ve seen the sock-monkey dress in person? Also, is it weird that the main thing I notice is that all the monkeys have different coloured eyes?
A sock monkey dress?! You’ve got to be kidding me!! That’s hysterical! May is definately getting bigger, look out Chaos!
I reckon that a sock monkey dress, if worn, would not be very comfortable to sit on… but then a) who would wear it and b) they would not be the sort of person who sits down anyway cos they would have to show off all night.
Holy monkey dress!! That’s hilarious.
Next time I dare you to put the sock monkey dres on when no one else is looking and then get your picture taken.
Haha! Too bad you didn’t try it on!
