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 …
I just got an email this morning saying that they are doing the Socks that Rock Mill End mystery bags this weekend. This, much like the Wollmeise “We’re different” yarns, is a really great way to get some Socks that Rock to play with for a more affordable price. You don’t get to choose the …
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 …
I’ve not written a lot about my knitting and crocheting lately for a couple of reasons. First is that a lot of my crafting lately has been for others, others who sometimes read the blog. It’s not like they aren’t already pretty sure what they are getting already (cough… baby blankets) but still, I like …
After having a pretty rough week today I got the nicest surprise in the world. It was a Christmas/Birthday package from my friend Barbro in Finland with all sorts of lovely goodies in it for me! There were these awesome wrist warmers (which I put to use as soon as I took the picture of …
