A true-ism that has been forcing it’s way to the front of my mind a lot lately is that things always seem easier after you’ve done them. Especially if you’ve done them a few times. Often, it is the thought of something more than the actual thing that keeps us from doing it. It may …
So, today I nearly finished my most recent monkeys, but I had left my sewing-up needle at home. However, I really wanted to get the almost completed monkeys off the needles so I could cast on another pair. What to do? So, I thought about what I had around me. I was at the ISU …
Ok, so that might be overstating it a bit. But I do feel like a MACHINE of knitting prowess! Here are the latest and greatest Monkeys! This was some beautifully dyed yarn. I know it’s hard to see it, but this yarn had reds, rusts, oranges, greens, browns and even a tiny bit of pink …
Ha! You thought I was done? Puh-leeze! I am still monkeying it up out here! I’ve got a sock and a little over a half done. It’s been a busy week y’all! It got pointed out to me in the comments that I had sent out the knit-signal but I hadn’t given y’all an address …
Yes, I finished blocking the latest pair of monkeys! I hung the blocked socks outside to dry in the sunshine today. And then I started another pair… I promise, sooner or later I will in fact blog about something other than monkey socks!
I don’t talk on here a lot about beauty products and regimes mostly because I typically don’t have any. That is until lately that is. You see, I’ve decided it’s time to start getting serious about my skin. Over this past winter, I started using a moisturizer on my face consistently every night after my …
So, yeah… I get the addictive nature of the Monkey socks now. I already want to cast-on the next pair and I’m not done with this pair yet! It’s sort of like when I was still smoking (yes, I used to smoke. I quit. It’s bad for you, don’t start it!) when I would want …
I finished the pink and grey monkeys shortly after I finished the last post. My sock blockers have been getting a lot of work lately, a lot more than they are used to at least! There wasn’t a huge amount of yarn left over, but it only take about 5 or 6 grams to make …
Random has been sort of my catchword of late. It feels as though my life has become a host of things unrelated to one another except through me. I could make a concept map to explain this, but I’ll save y’all the horror:-) I’ve not posted here in a while. Partially this is because, quite …
