So my favorite pattern right now is Jerry the Musical Monkey by Rebecca Danger. I love all of her patterns really. They are all very detailed and fairly easy to knit. She does a great job of explaining how to sew limbs on, where to get eyes, and how to finish off your critter/monster. Everything I have made has turned out excellent.
Right now I am making a blue and green monkey for my hubby. I am just waiting on my glittery eyes from 6060 on etsy to finish it up!

I'm a bad bad girl.
Not like that . . . . get your mind out of the gutter!
Anyways I bought more yarn. Well in my defense I don't have alot of good monster yarn. I went to the yarn store looking for something for a swap and came out with more Cascade 220! I love all of these colors! I can't wait to make them into monsters or monkeys! Rebecca Danger has a new pattern out Jerry the Musical Monkey! The blue with a cream or grey would make a really great monkey! The orange and green are brighter in person too!

Knitpicks order!!!!!!!
Here is my latest Knitpicks order. Since we got our tax refund I had some extra money to use towards yarn! Knitpicks was having a sale on City Tweed and Gloss so I got some. The Stroll Tonal in Blue Violet is for a shawl. Ever since I saw it knitted up I have wanted it!
But now sadly I must go on a yarn diet. I am going to do it to save money for the deck and a patio set. I am thinking of starting my Christmas knitting though. It would be nice to have that done early this year!

Super Secret Monster Swap
I started a monster for the swap but the yarn wasn't doing it for me. Now I have started a new monster with a really gorgeous yarn. I love working with Malabrigo. It is a joy to work with everytime with it's soft texture and beautiful colors. I wish I could knit everyting out of Malibrigo!
I can't wait until I can finish this up and send it to my awesome swap partner Erin!
Oh and my knitpicks order comes in on Thursday. Super excited to see all the yarn. I really should start on Christmas presents too. I have so much I want to knit for myself as well so I better get cracking!
