Funky Sock Monkey

If you don’t read the Yarn Harlot, then you might not know about the adorable little sock monkeys that were knit at sock camp (I’ll wait here while you go look it up, this link might help). So, the pattern is now available as well as kits. And since I always wanted to try Socks that Rock (the socks monkeys are knit with heavyweight) and my niece loves monkeys, I figured I’d knit a monkey for her birthday! I’ll have about two weeks to get the monkey finished in time for the party (but her actual birthday was last week, she turned 14). I got kit #6, fire on the mountain and sherbet.

So, until I can show pictures of the monkey in progress, here is a boy enjoying his new toy. Oh and as a follow up to Friday’s post, I found my book that evening (after a month of searching!). Scott was a bit bummed since his plan for mother’s day was to get me a replacement book, which would have been awesome if it was still lost. Henry also has stopped needing his 4am bottle (yay!) and is slowly getting back to sleeping thru the night. Last night he woke us up twice (I only remember once). I went in to find him almost sideways with his head rammed again the side. I’m surprised we haven’t found him on his belly yet since he is such the rolling monster now (but can’t roll front to back yet so he gets stuck).
