Monkeys On Parade
Woo hoo! They're finally finished! I've taken a vow to not put anything new on my needles until I've finished all of the other things I've started (with one exception that i'll post soon). These socks are great and I can already imagine how nice and toasty my feet will be on those cold winter days. I have a feeling I'll be making a lot more monkeys in the future

WIPitis
Ok, so i have been suffering severly from WIPitis (work-in-progress itis). Hence the reason for not posting for sometime. I've been working on so many different things that i just can't seem to get anything finished, lol.
Well i am still suffering from WIPitis, but i am just going to post the progress for some of the things i've been working on :)
I fell in love with this pattern the first time i saw it!! I'm hoping it will replace my "well-loved" gray sweatshirt hoodie when its finished.
Here's what the finished sweater will look like (hopefully).
These are pretty quick to knit and they would probably be done if i could keep focused on one project.
