Last evening I had so much fun! My knitting group started an annual holiday tradition several years ago. Mary — knitting peep and wonderful hostess! — has our Thursdays at Four group to her home and does all of the cooking. This year, yummy spaghetti with all of the trimmings! We then sit, chat, laugh, and have a gift exchange. It is really one of the highlights of my holiday season.
Mary presented me with an additional surprise:
It is a book with a ton of hilarious pictures of sock monkeys in different garb and circumstances. I laughed 
until I cried 
!
Thanks to all of you for a wonderful evening!! 
Friends (especially laughing friends!) are one of the best gifts of the season! 🙂

De-lurking to say I love sock monkeys – I just can’t explain why. I love them so much I made a slipper pattern and posted it to Ravelry. Should your feet need a little monkey laughter, email me as I would love to give you with the pattern. It’s the least I can do to repay you for all of the great knitting you inspire me with!
