Socks are a Scam!! Says Blue Moon Bank

According to the Bank that Blue Moon used to receive cash and credit card payment for the Rockin’ Sock Club 2007.

I can’t believe that a bank actually thought a sock yarn club is a scam, because, after all, no one buys THAT much sock yarn. Yeah, right – what rock have they lived under?

Blue Moon’s bank refunded all monies paid into the the Rockin’ Sock Club. Blue Moon issued a letter to all members of the club and asked that all bloggers get the word out to all fellow knitters. A copy of the letter is on the Yarn Harlot’s site with more information. Like she writes – Freakin’ muggles! I can’t wait for the new Harry Potter book either, but I digress.

Blue Moon states that all can be made right by going to their website and registering and paying for the club again upon receipt of your refund.

It’s a wonder this didn’t throw them into a hissy fit! But Ladies they are, and Ladies they remain as they will not tell the name of the bank.

Otherwise we would be able to cast a spell on them and have them barfing every minute.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
