Monkey Buttons! Monkey Buttons!

Say that a few times. It's so fun you might not be able to stop.


The ribbon is actually light yellow...

For our soon-to-be little monkey, I present to you Monkey Buttons. This will be the first sweater in a small (because I don't want to be too insane) series. Now I have to figure out what to do with the luscious baby alpaca yarn that Karen gave me when I mentioned 3 years ago that I wanted to have a baby.



Feast on this Thanksgiving photo!


Turkey (brined-- such a good method!), brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, sweet potato fries, rosemary foccacia, and apple-cranberry crumble.


Good evening, Sir. Won't you join me for this fine repast?

Your Thanksgiving guest needs a shave! Love the monkey buttons.

Cute! She was pawing the fork a few seconds earlier, and we tried unsuccessfully to get a picture of that.

Adorable sweater! I bow to your talent. :)

I think that sweater makes it official. At long last Ken's words actually have some truth to them. He really is a Monkey's Uncle (to-be).

I think I may need some monkey buttons myself. And brining is the ONLY way to prepare poultry! I just took a brined turkey out of the oven right before reading this post, in fact!

such a lovely little sweater! I forgot to mention that if you have any American knitting supply needs, I will send you anything you want so you can be ready when the mood schlagens

Thanks for all the comments!

Tiff-- knitting is not hard once you know how--

Nicole-- Can we call Ken Uncle Monkey at Christmas?

Randy- yum

Karen-- The pattern is from your book! Are you around the first week in January? That's when we'll be in Mecca...
