Pearl & Jack
Once upon a snowy day in February, Pearl the sock monkey sat inside wishing she had a woolen hat to keep her head warm. Being a crafty monkey, she set out to knit up a warm cabled hat. She chose the perfect shade of mulberry merino yarn to bring out the pink in her cheeks and a flattering cabled beret pattern--Gretel by Ysolda Teague.
Pearl is quite the avid knitter and was finished in time to enjoy the fresh snow fall.
She donned her perfect little Gretel, smiled, and set out to enjoy her favorite snowy day pastime, snow angel-making!
Suddenly around the corner came a handsome fellow. Jack the sock monkey also enjoyed a snowy day and became immediately smitten when he saw Pearl making angels in the snow.
Pearl blushed at being caught playing in the snow by herself. "Your rosy cheeks give you away. You need a hot drink to warm you after a day in the snow," said Jack.
She joined him and together they walked to the local coffee house, Metropolis, where Jack ordered a latte for two from the barista.
It was a perfect afternoon and by the end of the day two sock monkeys were in love.
