Monkey Business
I am woefully behind on the socks for the Monkey Sock Swap. I only just started the second one yesterday, and they are supposed to be in the mail tomorrow. Yikes!
I did dedicate myself to them this weekend, but seeing as how the weekend was spent at Silver Dollar City, I didn't get a whole lot done. They will get in the mail this week though. At some point. (on a side note I left my camera battery charger plugged into an outlet at the cabin we always stay at. My father-in-law called them today and told them to just hold it until we come back in December! Maybe I flatter myself, but I don't think you guys would be too happy if I didn't have photos for the next six weeks. I really hope they can mail it back to me).
The reason for my lack of progress on the Monkeys is this:
Love knitting this sweater. I am afraid of the cables though, God help me. I don't have much cable experience, and I am convinced I will get there and find I have made a terrible mistake in selecting this pattern.One last thing before I get back to the Monkeys. I won a contest at Tres Chic Veronique! The prize? Yarntini. Sportweight. Fuzzy Navel. Yumm! And Halloween candy too. Awesome prize.

your sweater looks gorgeous. I love the color. I just cast on the second sleeve of mine, and then it's forward march toward those cables. We can hold hands virtually while we go through it.
Wow, that IS an awesome prize! Gorgeous!
If I can do a cable, anyone can. I'm not saying that I do them well...but I can do them. Yours will be amazing! Now the Monkeys. That I messed up so badly it isn't even funny.
Love the Yarntini!!! So bright and cheery...
Oh, that sweater looks amazing. I want to do that one myself. That yarntini is some good-looking yarn.
Fabulous Yarntini, congrats!
Tangled Yoke looking good and you'll do just fine on the cables, you'll giggle about feeling so nervous... :^)
I'm glad you like the Yarntini! I was a little bit afraid that you might not have realized how bright that orange was :)
As for the cables, just take it one stitch at a time, and it will be fine.
Bring on the cables! You can do it!
Lovin' that sweater. It's such a pretty color.
I saw you won on Veronique's blog, congratulations - love that colour. Sweater is coming along nicely.
Your Monkey Sock pal package was put in the mail early this week. I hope it arrived to you this weekend, if not earlier. Enjoy!
