More Monkey!

Monkeys are pretty zippy little things! I'm past the heel flap and heel turn and have worked the first round with the gusset. I like the texture of the stitch pattern, but to me the stitch pattern area seems pretty wide (wider than a normal 64 stitch around sock knit on US 1's). Because of this, I'm going to work the foot in stockinette stitch instead of using the Monkey stitch pattern.

On a completely unrelated note (except it does have to do with knitting), I seem to have lost my mojo on the Cherry Blossom Shawl. I haven't worked on it in days, but yesterday I finally picked it up again and I've almost finished the first repeat of the last stitch pattern before the edge. (Does that make sense? I'm not caffeinated yet - as usual - so it makes sense to me, but I realize the rest of you are probably questioning the reasons I'm under the impression I should be blogging. Maybe this blog should be read by the uncaffeinated too!) Anyway, I hope to get back to working on the shawl this weekend and maybe I can get it finished up. I don't really have a good reason for the loss of mojo, I mean I still like the design, I still like the yarn, I just haven't picked up the project.

Have a great weekend! I'm off to make some tea now.
