Lil Monkey - finally finished!
Posted by tata on Tuesday Jun 17, 2008 Under CrochetAt long last, the blankets I’ve been working on are completed! So let’s cut right to the pictures, shall we?!
The sock monkey head.
The face was added.
Then sewn to a square.
Buddha loves it!
The completed blanket.
Both of them!
The pattern came from this book.
I inspired the girls to pick up their own hooks.
It took much longer than I anticipated, but it was well worth it. I started on May 25 and finished the second blanket today. The first blanket was completed two days ago. I would’ve completed it sooner if I had worked on it more often. It’s just gotten so hard to crochet while Buddha is awake. He climbs on me and tries to steal my yarn, hook or pattern. So, I’ve been crocheting more at night and/or nap-time and well, I don’t always want to crochet at those times. I’m really pleased with how great they look. The pictures really don’t do them any justice. Cat was right when she said I’d love the Granny Square! I *do* and really want to find some really terrific pattern to make myself one.
Some “Just Because” photos:
A snapshot I took of Joy after snapping the photos of the blankets.
I took this a few days ago. It’s my new favorite of Buddha.
They were snuggled up on the couch watching TV - awwww!
