Monsters...

I've been knitting for a few years now - it's one of my very favorite hobbies.  I love the meditative knit and purl. In the past year I've made hats, booties, sweaters, socks, gloves, and more.  But I've never had as much fun as I have the last couple of months since I got this:


Rebecca Danger has written the most amazing book of monster patterns.  It's been a great way to learn how to "magic loop" and work on seaming and finishing. Plus, they are all so cute and cuddle-worthy.   I've made 3 delightful little ones so far.  Two of them have already left the nest for little babies new to this world.  The third is waiting for a birth.  But here they are:





It's been so much fun.  In fact, I cast on for another one today!  If you are having a baby any time soon, watch out!  The monster population at your house just may be increasing.

  3. So cute! Seeing the great projects you've completed has spawned an itch to learn to knit. I keep fighting the urge to scratch that itch because I don't need one more hobby to buy for and then let sit. Keep up the great work, hon!

  5. So basically you're telling me I have to have a third?!

    Maybe you can teach me how to magic loop this summer? I still haven't made SJ's.

    I love you!
