Answer to the puzzle Sid & Sadie

8/24/2013

0 Comments

 
So the answer, as I saw it is 54!  Lori of  loridenisepars@hotmail.com is the winner!
It was love at first sight.  Sid saw Sadie across a crowded toy room and was smitten immediately.   He put his best (foot) forward and courted Sadie and the (pair) became inseparable.  Within a few weeks they tied a (double knot).   

They were quite the (pair) walking down the isle and at their reception they danced (toe to toe), taking a bit of (needling)  for acting like a couple of (crazy socks).   Everyone they knew attended the wedding; distant cousins the (Anklets) and (Kneehighs), Uncle (Tube) and Auntie (Crew).  A jock friend, (Athletic) arrived last minute, while the (Thrum) family flew in from Newfoundland.  Grandpa (Argyle) arrived from the British Isles.  The (cast) of characters filled the first three (rows) in the church and Sid's brother (Bobby), a (sock) of the (cloth), officiated at the ceremony.  

Like Noah's ark they arrived in (pairs) and pretty much everyone made it accept for a couple of (Leotards) that were totally out of fashion and not missed.    At the reception, the crowd was (scarfing) down the food and watched as Sid did the (garter stitch) and made a few (yokes) about his bride.   The guests threw (rice stitches) as they left for their honeymoon.  

Their wedding was a blissful (yarn) and during the honeymoon, a (seed was stitched)  and nine months later they were (stocking) their family tree with a pair of little (sockettes), (Knit) and (Purl).     Unfortunately tragedy struck and the (Knit one) went missing in an unfortunate dryer incident and the (Purl one) disappeared after being (tinkered) by the (Afghan) Hound, family pet the following week.  Devastated by the loss Sid and Sadie didn't have the (Red Heart) to make any more little (socks).  

And because (knit) happens, in the fifties, during a mid life crisis, Sid got an (itch) and became a (woolmanizer), falling head over (heels) in love with Barbie,  the new toy in the box.  He gave Sadie the (slip knotty) boy, to pursue his new paramour but there was no (stuffing) to their relationship, she was only using him to keep her (feet) warm and (dropped him like a stitch) once Ken came on the scene.  

Sadie had been terribly hurt, what was she a (muggle)?   Sid knew he was a (heel) and didn't try to pull the (wool over her eyes) with lies but hoped they could (stitch together) their life and get over this rough (patch).   He wasn't about to push his
affections on her when she had (two long sharp sticks) but dropped to his knees and begged for her forgiveness, and when it came down to the (knitty gritty), she decided to give him a second chance but not before (dropping a few stitches) on his legs so he couldn't wander off again.  He was eternally grateful for her forgiveness and it saved him from totally (unraveling).
