good-natured ribbing

I took the day off on Friday and finished the socks for my Sockapalooza 4 pal:

Whew! I’m really happy with how these socks turned out.

When I was in Seattle in January, I found this little sock monkey in a small gift shop and decided to put it aside for my next Sockapalooza pal:

Do all sock monekys look so worried? It did come down to the wire, a bit — maybe that was making him nervous. And he’s headed to another rainy climate…but he’s well prepared.

Now I just have to pack it all up!
