Sock as a Verb

Not exactly sure if I should screen this post, however, I'm going to post it anyway.

Myself, Kelle and Allie have found a new passion; sock puppets / dolls.
It all started with Allie. She was feeling all maternal one night and wanted to knit a baby blanket, she texted me letting me know she googled "how to knit a blanket" and was going to the store for supplies. Once there, she discovered a "how to construct a sock doll" book, intrigued, she opened it and then abandoned ALL thoughts of the baby blanket. Her new addiction took shape.
Next thing i know, she's texting me asking me if I want to come over and make puppets. I know my best friend, she's a weirdo, ( why I love her) but I couldn't help but tactfully deny her invitation..... until I saw the photo album.
After that I was hooked. It was absoloutely hilarious. So for the past few weeks, we have been getting together at regular intervals to "sock". I think she has made about 5-6 dolls now, each one unique and each reflecting what mood she's in. There's one she made where she was "in a dark place" and its actually really funny and she felt much better after she created it. LOL
I've made 3, I will post pics now....
Kelle has 3 as well, all of them are hilarious -- i'm actually quite sad that I am leaving this new found activity to spend with girlfriends, we're always laughing about it !
