Animal Kingdom

I took the notion to clean my knitting nest corner and room. Took me most of the day but I accomplished quite a bit. I frogged quite a few projects that were cast on during the snowstorms. I had a serious case of startitis.
Needless to say there were a lot of needles to put away and I finally found my size 6's.

Miss Aurora found a newly emptied yarn basket and immediately meowed and crawled in for a much needed nap. She spent the afternoon chasing yarn balls and knocking the needles on the floor. I suppose all that activity would tire anyone.





Finally sigh a finished pair of socks. The Monkey pattern is one of my favorite go-to sock patterns. These are the no-purl Monkeys. I made these from Socks That Rock but for heaven's sake, don't ask me the colorway. I lose
labels all the time and I only know a yarn by the feel, dye process and twist.

Honestly this dog is so nosey. Mr. Bettis just had to check out what I was doing.

By the way, he has a very wet nose.

Frog, Monkey and Bear......oh my

This is a frog. I know it doesn't look like a frog, but it is. I started this as a sweater and decided against it.

Okay, okay.........I'll admit the true problem. I started this a year ago. One of those bouts of "Startitis" on a spring day. I remember it was supposed to be a sweater. (What else could it be with 98 stitches and 1 inch of ribbing completed?) I have no idea what sweater. So it is now a frog.
Hello Frog!




This is a monkey. It doesn't look like a monkey but it is. Monkey socks by Cookie A. I have been wanting to make a pair of these for a long time and after I frogged the unknown sweater, I decided I needed a new project. Yes, another new project. Hey! It's spring! Refer to above bout of "Startitis" last spring. I hereby vow Monkey will not become a Frog.
Hello, Monkey!




This is a bear. Could you tell?
