This kind of thief deserves to get socked ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

It takes Inge Kettler two months to knit a huge sock. This one she made and sold last December. Her latest one was stolen from where it hung in front of the store last Friday.

A giant hand-knitted sock which was hanging off the awning in front of the Needle & Arts Centre was stolen in plain daylight last Friday. Although located on usually-busy Shoppers Row, the approximately one-metre-long sock was taken off its hook, much to the disappointment of shop owner Inge Kettler. It had taken her more than two months and 20 balls of wool to knit and felt this second version of the colourful sock, which has been a landmark on Shoppers Row for more than a year. The first one (pictured) was sold last December. “I was heart broken when I realized that all my work and our store icon was gone. I offer a real pair of hand knitted socks if this giant sock is turned in or if somebody saw the incident,” Kettler says. The sock hangs from an awning on a S-hook. The Kettlers hang it up every morning and take it down at night with a special stick. You have to be pretty tall to take it off without the stick, Jurgen Kettler says. The Needle & Arts Centre is a destination shop for yarn, pottery and gifts.

Warrior run

Members of Wounded Warrior Run BC make their way into Campbell River Wednesday morning. The seven-day relay run covers 600 kilometres, stopping in communities from Port Hardy to Victoria to raise public awareness and financial support for Wounded Warriors Canada, a non-profit charity that provides programs for those suffering from PTSD and other mental health issues. The run arrived at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 137, and the Legion and Ladies Auxiliary provided a dinner for the team and presented a cheque for $1,050. See story on page 61.
