Catch the monkey

December 21st, 2006 by May

I’m not easily discouraged.

Last night, I cast on again for Monkey on size 2 needles. Which is what the pattern called for, but I’ve been doing a lot of sock knitting on size 1 needles, which turns out was too small for this yarn and pattern. Yes, I probably should have known better.

A little more knitting tonight and this is the result. It’s really nice to be working on something for myself and be able to show progress.

So far, it’s been quite enjoyable. So far so good on the sizing. We’ll see how it goes when we get to the heel.

    Oooooooh, I’ve just finished my JayWalkers last night…and I’m itching to cast on for another pair of socks…I think this is going to be it!

    Oh May – it’s looking REALLY GOOD now! That yarn is really great for that pattern. I may have to start Monkey for some holiday knitting (though I may try it toe-up because I LOVE toe-up.)
