Monkey Socks Yarn

I braved the ice cold breeze for the picture of this dress:



It is one I was going on about making before my computer went bad. I used the black to lengthen it and embroidered the leaves to fancy it up. We did an art project at preschool one day and I used the leaves that Knitter #2 and I made as the patterns. I traced them with a colored pencil.

And here is my prized yarn:



The reason it is prized is because I finally found something to suit my taste for Monkey socks. The only Monkeys that I have seen and really, really liked were done in shades of blue. Iā€™ve been looking around for months to find a good candidate.

My goodness it is cold here. If it werenā€™t for the breeze, it probably wouldnā€™t feel all that cold. It is finally getting that time of year. Maybe the flies will GO AWAY now. I am sick of them. I donā€™t think I have ever missed summer and looked forward to winter all at the same time like this before. Winter is nearly upon us and I really need some warm gloves. Iā€™m thinking of making myself the arm warmers from Weekend Knitting, too.

I am rows away from finishing some Christmas socks. Yay!!!!
