Sock It 2 Me!

Next week is the beginning of our annual spinners gathering in Destin, Florida. OH, what a time we have and have had for the past 20+ years. Four days of spinning, gabbing, spinning, visiting, spinning, learning new techniques, spinning, shopping, spinning, meeting new friends, spinning, seeing old friends, spinning, show & tell, spinning and the list goes on and on. It's a fun week and hard to describe--you just have to be there! Each year we have a theme; theme for 2010 is "Sock It To Me". Well, you can imagine there will be lots of socks shown and worn.
Well, look what showed up in my mailbox one day!
A SOCK MONKEY! by way of dear knitter friend Judy in Colorado--what a surprise and a treat. And look what badge he is wearing:
Is that not a hoot?!! Good ole sock monkey will be the hit of the party and he is bringing along his game "Who's got the monkey?". Maybe, we can give away some 'monkeys' that are in our baggage to others. Well, just 'SOCK IT 2 ME'!!!
