It just might be a monkey theme, folks.

It's tough because I was imagining a weird sea-creatures theme based on this:



Prehistoric nautiloids!

and this:



But now a second monkey item has appeared! A little early Christmas fairy has given me a gift certificate to Knitpicks, so the yarn will be waiting for me when I get to my parents' house! (Oh, um, Mom and Dad, I am having some yarn delivered to the house.)



Maybe the theme is evolution!! I should knit something for every Phylum.

well, i was going to try for a bug theme, but i kind of like that monkey pattern! i have seen the sea creatures in crochet patterns. i think my simple creations would be redundant- have to find something really unique. i guess i should finish ben's sailboats first :(

Hey, bugs are a BIG part of evolution! We welcome any and all bugs for the baby's room! Or baby corner... umm... still looking for an apartment.

That monkey pattern is so adorable that I can't wait to work on it. I'm going to simplify a little bit-- it's a two sided blanket, and I'll just make one side and cover the other side with fabric.

Cute! I like monkeys and/or bugs. Somehow I knew the theme would not be ballerinas or clowns.

Sarah said...

Yeah, really. Ballerinas--- barf.

Sarah said...

Oh, so, Karen, now you know that I am a big chicken. I am indeed scared to steek, but it's mostly all that extra knitting putting me off. (a chicken AND lazy!)

tardigrade, you need to knit a tardigrade

I'll have to get to work on that pattern... I wonder if I can use something for see-through yarn?
