Yarn Along
Wednesday, August 26, 2015
Today I'm taking part in my first Yarn Along. Which is an idea to share what you're knitting and reading.
I'm making a Monkey Moo - a pattern I found on Ravelry ages ago. He's not the first I've made and probably won't be the last.
I haven't picked up my needles in a while but felt the urge and he's easy to do and quick to work up - and I can always find a willing recipient for him!
He's almost done with just his tail left to finish and some sewing together.
I'm reading The Sunrise by Victoria Hislop, I've almost finished and have been thoroughly engaged by it, more so than any other book I've read this year. I've already got another of her books - The Return - lined up to read next.

DeleteHappy first yarn along, it really is a great group and so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI love your Monkey Moo! I have not really knit toys, but now
seeing your post I would love to cast on a monkey for my
grand, Emerson, we call her monkey!
Happy knitting.
A most excellent name :)

DeleteOh how cute! Especially his little blue shirt. Kind of reminds me of one of my monkeys. ;-) I've never heard of Victoria Hislop- I'll have to see if I can find her books!
