all done!

monkey socks started tuesday, june 5th, completed saturday, june 9th. they are washed, blocked and wrapped up for the recipient. i used str lightweight in thistle (not an easy colorway for me to photograph).

i am very happy i was able to complete these. as most of you know, i am a very selfish knitter so if you see me knitting for someone else, they must be pretty special ;) i know that my friend will totally appreciate the effort and that is part of the joy of giving hand knits. i'll be giving her these tomorrow! and might just cast on a pair for myself tonight. i have the pattern memorized now and for some reason it really does go very quickly!

for those who asked, lily is back to her old self (phew!). her current favorite activity is chasing flies around the condo. cooper is an active participant in that as well. they are still very kittenish at 10 months!
