monkey on monkey

The first sock for my pal is finished. Here's the Librarian modelling the sock:


He seems pretty happy with it.

Socks on the needles

I realized I really needed to get a move-on with my socks since I'm having surgery next week and am not sure how long I'll be unable to knit afterwards. I'm using this brown/green/blue Lorna's Laces. The color transitions are really entertaining and I'm finding the pattern a snap to knit. I'm ready for the heel flap today and I imagine I'll make some good progress on it since there's significant waiting room time coming up when I go and get blood drawn for preop testing. (Don't worry, it's just some minor sinus surgery.)

Work it...

Work it!

Show me you love the monkeys!

Work it!

Give me monkey love!

OHH!

Dirty Monkey!

getting primate-y in here!

hmm, what arrived on my doorstep yesterday afternoon? well, a lot of things, but the important one was... cherry tree hill supersock in fall foliage. oh MAN, this is some of the softest, most beautiful, most scrumptiously delicious yarn i've ever seen. it also, conveniently, contains all of my monkey pal's favourite colours.



yep, just as pretty when it's in a ball...



and even prettier once it's become the first four repeats of a monkey sock! (the colours look a little dark in this picture)



oh, monkey pal, you're soon going to have some pretty colors to wear, that will be absolutely luscious on your feet!

just a hint of what I have been up to for the past few days.
