It was lovely to have met you today and I really enjoyed your demo on the sock monster today. I am not sure if you remember me but I was the one into amigurumi. Actually, I am addicted. Anyway if you are interested, I am on facebook and have pictures on flickr but I don’t have a blog. I am new to flickr and not sure if you can look me up or I just put the url here.
I am going to try sock monsters now, you have inspired me! Thank you!

Will be in on Saturday and will hopefully catch your demonstration.

I am sure you will have a very successful fair with such cuties.

Definately in the “Cookie Monster” family of monsters and not “Godzilla” family of monsters!

Try googling whipstitch. I just hold (or pin) the arms in place and then stitch them together to the body. If that’s a bit tricky you could try sewing the arm opening shut before attaching them to the monsters body.

Keep plugging along with the preparations – can’t believe it is only 12 days away, or really 11 now!
