Secret Swap Monster Style

The Danger Craft group started up a secret swap for anyone who wanted to make a monster and send it out.  I was lucky enough to join in and make a monster for someone in Athens, Greece.  It wasn't too hard to figue out what monster make.  I choose Sammie the Sock monster.  As for the yarm, the pink yarn that I choose jumped right out at me when I saw it. 

I quickly made up "Socka" with her green little socks and mailed her off to JuleeQuee.  Then it was just a waiting game to see when the package would arrive.  Here's the post about Socka arriving...........

keldar5!!! I received your awesome package featuring Socka the beeyooootiful Pink Sock Monster! She is so incredibly cute. :-) I’m so impressed with your perfect knitting - so even and lovely.
I’m so excited to have a handknit washcloth to add to my collection. That cotton is so nice and soft and is some of my favorite colors too. The honey roasted pumpkin seeds look delicious and the handcarved stamp! (!) Did you make it? It is so wonderful. Nice work. Thanks so much for making me such a lovely package.
Socka is adapting well here in Athens. She says it’s much warmer than where she came from. Here’s a picture of her on the balcony, with Athens in the background. I’m making some warm cookies and milk to welcome her home. :-)
