My Monkeys!!!!





Monkeys are Here! Actually, they arrived a week or so ago....but my camera needed batteries....:)
Thank you, Cindy! What gorgeous socks! And, they fit perfectly! Cindy also spoiled me with a beautiful handmade embroidered monkey sock bag, a monkey punchbag, a coloring kit for my son, and some nice circs, patterns, and directions for knitting socks with 2 circs....I can't wait! The Crystal Palace Bunny Hop yarn will make nice sock for my niece. Again, Thanks Cindy! :)

This was waiting for me when I got home on Tuesday , I am just so thrilled, The socks are knitted with Socks that rock , colourway Down Pour ... how apt , it hasn't stopped raining for days .

Jen sent me merino sock wool which she has dyed herself, you can't really see the colour , but take it from me it is beautiful , a really useful pencil case ( it will live in my knitting bag with notions in ) , a loveable little monkey , monkey key ring and badge ..................KNITPICKS CIRCS .....aren't they GREAT ? , KNITPICKS NEEDLE GUAGE , and KNITPICKS SIZE thingies ... can you tell that I love Knitpicks ?



This has been such a fun swap , is there going to be a number 3 ? Thank you Rebecca for organising this swap . I apologise for the photographs, usually W takes them for me , usually outdoors, today I have taken them myself and have had to hunt around the house for bright spots , everywhere is so dark and gloomy today .The clock isn't usually on it's side , I can't figure out how to turn the photo round !



Thank you Jen , I adore everything , and the socks fit just as if they had been knitted for me LOL .

Look what came!

Monkey Swap Package Received

After a long day at my daughter's water polo tournament I arrived home to find my monkey sock swap box waiting for me on the kitchen counter. Look at all the goodies Meghann sent (it took me a little investigation to figure out who my sender was because I only had a last name and return address). The monkey socks are a beautiful color and knit with a yarn thicker than what I used for my partner. I think the stitch pattern is even more defined with the thicker yarn. She also send several monkey goodies, a mirror, a candle, a monkey stamp and monkey thank you's. In the little tin are some beautiful stitch markers, perfect for small needles. I will be posting a picture of them on my blog along with more pics. Flash! My 21 year old daughter just walked off with the monkey candle and stamp. She is anmored with them. A big thank you to Meghann, your package is a hit!
