The Maker Faire?!!?!

The Yarn Harlot at the Maker Faire

Look! She's holding Monkey kawkaw!

I was so excited to see Elizabeth again and meet her son Nathan! Isn't he a cutie! We both brought our funky sock monkeys to say hi to Stephanie!

Cpurl and I got to say hi (she has some great pics of the Faire on her blog!)!! We took this photo as evidence for Zonda!

Rosie and Louie (Tapmouse's monkey!) had a great time today! This is a cupcake mobile (crazy, huh? We thought of you Terry!).

Seriously, the Maker Faire is a bit different? A big geeky science fair, with yarn thrown in??!

These guys were there too. 104 2liters of Diet Coke and 600+ mentos create this!

Overall, a great day! I even bought a teensy weensy bit of yarn...details to follow!

Happy Knitting!

Monkey Mayhem!

Rosie and her friends, both old and new. Seriously, who would have thought you could have this much fun making sock monkeys!

Well, I'm pretty sure Debbi knew we would have that much fun! It is her incredible pattern after all. This is her before.....

....and after we covered her with monkey love!! (see Rosie in her arm, how can you miss those botoxed red lips!)

Debbi certainly played a big role in me going to camp this year and I am so glad I got to hang out with her all week! I can not say enough about how wonderful she and all the sockateers are! I miss her already! Here's her original Funky Sock Monkey in the picture above. The pattern is written for a large monkey like this one and a small monkey (like the ones that you've been seeing around!).

The pattern should be available soon on the Blue Moon website, but I thought one of you lucky readers might not be able to wait so I bought an extra pattern at camp! Let me know if you are interested in the sock monkey pattern in the comments below and I'll pick a random winner this week!

Contest closes Thursday at 6pm PST.

Happy Knitting!!
