The first…

The Monkey socks are done.  I finished them a couple of days ago, sometime last week. 

The details:

Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A.  Available on Knitty.
Yarn:  Ewe3 Sock, Tamarack colorway (more on the name of the sock later)
Needles: Size 1 US

Pattern Mods:  None except I did a 3 needle bind off on the toes instead of Kitchener.
I did the 6 pattern repeats for the leg as specified and did 4 repeats for my foot.  I had a ton of yarn leftover.

I really loved this pattern.  I had the pattern repeat memorized after a few times.  The pattern is extremely well written and even though it’s lace, I think a beginning knitter could handle it.  I will probably knit a few more pairs of these.  I think I like these better than Jaywalkers.

The second…

My job is done on Sunday.  I did it.  I’m a full time stay at home mom now with a lot of yarn to start dyeing.

Other things:  Thanks to those that have sponsored us for the Buddy Walk.  It is much appreciated.  Much!!  I have put up a link to the details of how to sponsor us on my sidebar.  Please pass the word along cause we still have a ways to go to reach our fundraising goal.  Currently, we are in 5th place out of about 20 teams.  I’m sure more teams will be added.
