I've been told perfection is boring. Well, I'm certainly not boring (just ask my friends) and I'm definitely not perfect (just ask my kids)! Because of this I have a standing policy of rewarding people who nicely bring an error to my attention with a free single pattern download from my Ravelry pattern store.
Techniques Used: Provisional cast on, short rows, wrapped stitches, crochet and grafting with Kitchener Stitch
Promotions: directions for an inexpensive, easily assembled (and disassembled) puppet theater are included in the pattern.

Every sock knitter has it—an ever-growing stash of leftover sock yarn. If ever there was yarn with a personality, it’s this motley collection of (ahem) cast-offs. It whines “I’m so pretty, please use me.” It nags: “Don’t you love me anymore?” It mocks: “Ha! I cost a small fortune and I’ll never be used.” If the voices of abandoned sock yarns have filled your head for far too long, then Jake is the snake for you.
Jake is a snake with attitude and sass. Jake is a snake that nourishes the creativity of even the most jaded adult. Most importantly, if you make Jake with remnant yarn he’s not only quirky and charming, he’s free!
The inspiration for Jake came from an episode of the BBC comedy Coupling called “Jane and the Truth Snake”. The relevant clips can be found on You Tube—but be aware that while Jake is for all ages his inspiration is most definitely for adults only.
