The serious single sock situation continues

A LONE SOCK

A LONE SOCK

Well, I got as far as making one sock with Opal Zebra, and quite like it, but unfortunately I had to pick up my grand-daughter yesterday and while I was waiting my daughter suggested I looked in the local woolshop in her town. This is fatal. Despite having 6 suitcases of wool in my stash PLUS several black bag loads stuffed in the loft I came away with some sock wool.

This is Noro’s fairly new sock yarn. Er, I just couldnt resist it! Trouble is, I am in the severe sock shortage situation; in my sock bag today I found 4 lots of socks, 3 single socks and 1 pair! I was lying in bed wondering where my socks had gone to last night. Well, I now have ONE of the zebra socks completed, and the luxury of one warm foot! Perhaps I should report this to the Bureau of Missing Socks. This site is dedicated to the phenomena of single socks. I am not alone!

PS If you are from the UK or British I would be very grateful if you could sign my animal welfare petition on the Downing Street site. Its about the appalling treatment of animals in China. You can find it at

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/chinacruelty/ and it doesnt take two ticks to sign.

URGENT, please sign this petition I have had accepted for Downing Street site.

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/chinacruelty/

Please sign this and forward to friends. Its to press for pressure to be put on the Chinese govt to improve the appalling treatment of animals in China. You have to be a UK citizen or resident to sign. Its in a short time span, please help!

Many thanks

A quick request

If you are visiting this page, particularly from the US, please could you visit Boristhewondercats blog. You will find the link if you scroll down on the right. The purpose of this blog is to campaign against the Chinese fur trade. That said it is an entertaining site with some excellent humurous youtube videos and has no graphic images, the aim is to spread awareness. 50% of all Chinas fur is exported to the US and the Chinese skin animals WHILST CONSCIOUS. Please support this site and boycott ALL fur as much of Chinas fur is deliberately mislabelled to overcome objections to the methods used.

Thank you
