Sock Monsters n' other stuff

The Creation of The Sock Monsters

The idea for sock monsters was originally created by my mum. In our family all of the clean socks from the washing get thrown into a big bag, and one day in the week (usually at the weekend) we would tip them all out and put them into pairs. No matter how hard we tried however, there were always some socks which didn’t have a pair, and my mum would always say “oh no, looks like the sock monsters have escaped again”. Ever since then whenever anything has gone missing in our house, we would blame the sock monsters.

Originally, the idea was to write a children’s book about the sock monsters. However, after graduating from university I decided I wanted to create a blog. At first, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write it about, when my mum suggested “why not write about the sock monsters?” And thus, Sock Monsters n’ Stuff was born, a blog of my random thoughts as a journalism graduate, such as what “happens to all the socks? and life’s other oddities, and just figuring life out after university. But who knows, in the future maybe the sock monsters will have their own book published!
