Holy Sheep Balls

My hubby found this all on his own for my Christmas present. It makes me giggle every time I wear it!
Happy Knitting!!
A Finished Christmas Monkey
The Monkey with no name made it to Christmas!
All the yarn and needle notes are on my project page here in Ravelry. I will tell you I have enough yarn to make a mirror match Monkey for Jellybean. Nevertheless the Monkey was well received!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
Happy Knitting!!
A One Armed Monkey
Slow and steady progress on Jellybean’s Sock Monkey.
One arm finished and sewed on. The ears are completely done but I know I made some mistakes on them. They definitely don’t match, lol. I am happy with the placement of all of it. I did have some laddering on the arm because I wasn’t paying enough attention to my DPNs but I’m fairly certain Jellybean won’t notice.
Happy Knitting!!
Monkey or Platypus?
I started Jellybean’s Monkey this week and I zoomed through the body and the mouth.
I’m not the best with large DPNs but I think for my second toy this is pretty good. I’m working on size 7 US with worsted we got yarn. I don’t have any laddering yet and the fabric is dense enough the stuffing stays on the inside. A win for me at least.
The mouth without the ears makes this look like a platypus to me. Am I crazy?
Happy Knitting!!
You Get What You Pay For
Many moons ago I hoped on Etsy in search of a plain Jane sock blocker made is wood. My Father-in-Law is interested in trying his hand at some but wanted to wrap his brain around the basic proportions and concept. I don’t own any wooden ones so I found a deal on Etsy and got my order off and going.
Turns out the shop was in China so shipping took awhile. But after a month I still had no package so I contacted the shop. Who by the way, was fantastic about communication. They found my shipment had gotten lost in customs and they quickly sent me a replacement with a different carrier that had tracking. Soon my package was at my door. Well dears….never shop on Etsy when sleep deprived and nauseated because I got exactly what I ordered but no what I wanted…
One set of adult blockers and 10 sets of child’s size blockers that I will never use because I don’t knit socks for Jellybean or anyone else small. That will learn me to pay better attention while gettin sucked down the Etsy rabbit hole, lol.
The big ones are fine and will suit my FIL just fine.
And as for the little ones….I think Jellybean and I might turn them into Christmas ornaments in the spirit of lemons into lemonade.
Stay tuned…
Happy Knitting!!
A Monkey With No Name
Last night Jellybean was enthralled with playing games with his father. So I snuck away to this…
The Grocery Girls latest podcast and….
Starting Jellybean’s toy monkey while snuggling up with my fur baby. The pattern named him Gilbert but I think I’ll let Jellybean name him officially. So right now he is “TBD” the monkey, lol.
Happy Knitting!!
