Monkey Monogamy

June 5, 2007 By Mindy

5 Jun

Remember how I said I was going to be a monogamous knitter?  I’ve been fantastically monogamous since saying that.  I have a new pair of Jaywalkers (wearing them now), and I’m speeding through the first Monkey.

I am loving this pattern, and I’m loving the yarn.  It’s the Tamarack colorway that Tracy and I dyed.  It is fantastic, truly variegated with no pooling or flashing.  The yarn itself is super soft.  I think that’s because we gave it a nice soak in Eucalan to countereffect any of the scratchiness that dyeing can sometimes cause.

Sometime very soon, I am going to have a big announcement/contest.  It will involve prizes and goodies; all for a good cause.  I’m still working out the details.  I know the knitting community is a very generous one, and I’m hoping everyone will support us on this one near and dear to our hearts.

    The monkey looks great. Glad to hear that you have been able to be monogomous. Does spinning count as cheating? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Wow! Monkey monogamy. What a concept. How do you do it? I’m so impressed. I guess with such a temptress as Monkey… it would be easy to not stray. Monkey keeps things interesting and Monkey is so good looking. I hear Monkey is intelligent, too. What more could you want in a monogamous relationship. Congrats!
