FO Friday: Monkeying Around

Well, with 15 minutes until Saturday, I'm squeezing in a FO Friday post.  (It is Friday, right?  My week got shuffled around a bit so I keep getting mixed up.)

Today's featured FO is one that was a stealth project for five months:


It's a monkey!  More specifically, he is a Tooth Fairy Monkey.  My niece (or rather, to be more specific, my oldest niece on my side of the family...) recently lost her first teeth.  I had intended to finish this monkey before she lost her first tooth, but we all know how I do with deadlines.  (Laughter here.)  But anyway, this monkey's purpose is to hold a tooth (instead of putting it under your pillow) for the Tooth Fairy and then hold whatever the Tooth Fairy brings you.  See?  The monkey even holds a bag:


(Again with the late night, bad lighting photo.  Ah, well.)  He didn't make it up to my niece in time for her first or second lost tooth (they came out in quick succession) but he's there for the next ones. (She's got two more loose teeth!)

    I know it's late, but I just wanted to let you know that I featured your Dalek jumper on Geek Crafts this morning. :)

FO Friday, Post Holiday Edition

Image
Well, another winter gifting season has come and gone, which means I have hand-knits to show you.  I'm trying something new this year with the blog, as I was such a terrible blogger last year, only typing up four very photo-full entries.  I'm going to aim to (maybe... we'll see how far I actually get) post at least twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays for WIP (Work in Progress) Wednesdays and FO (Finished Object) Fridays. Today, though, lots of photos again because of all the stealth projects I gifted. First, a pair of gifts for Redhead Sister's baby, due sometime this month, Team Yellow (they decided not to find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl): Pompom Hat : (I love how these look on itsy bitsy people) Knit in a soft green colour (actually in the green left over from the frog hat I knit for Elder Sister's son). Little Red Sweater : This one actually shares yarn with Jo's Little Red Riding Hood cape I also knit another GA...

NO-vember... Moving on...

If there was an award for being an inconsistent blogger, I would win.  My last post was a month ago as I was one week into NaKniSweMo. I think I'm going to add November National Whatever Months to my "I don't" list.  I did get about 16 inches done, which I calculate to be 19,074 stitches.  Not bad for moving in the middle of November, but not exactly a 50,000+ stitch completed sweater. I still have quite a bit to do; It's not close to done by any stretch of the imagination.  But for now it's on hold as I frantically knit Christmas presents.  I read the Yarn Harlot's blog today as I was taking a break from knitting and completely agree with the statement of "I feel like I'm going into this Christmas with no reserves."  I started knitting for this Christmas months ago, and yet I'm still really pushed for time.  (That and my family is Christmas-ing on the 19th, which cuts into knitting days.) I haven't completed anything since my...

I get cranky

Hello (echo, echo, echo...)! I'm not sure if anyone is still following my blog since it's been over two years since I last posted, and if you want two posts you have to go three years back. There are two things in my life that have led to blog silence: 1) small child. Jo is now 5! 2) smart phone. I blogged when I sat at the computer. I do much less  computer sitting since I a) graduated from college, and b) got a smart phone and I don't like composing blogs on my phone. I can't format in the same ways and I don't like that. But here I am, blogging on my phone. Another observation that I have made about myself is actually the thought seed for this blog post. Yesterday I was looking at my current WIPs (that's Works in Progress, Muggles) and I was feeling twitchy. I didn't WANT to work on the monster Jo wanted to give Daddy for Christmas, or the hat I started for Jo, or that project I am fixing for a friend, or that languishing sample knit, or those so...
