How does this happen?
I usually stay fairly focused on my projects and now I find myself in another knitalong. Knitalongs are very fun, similar to a book club or really any club that gets together to share like interests. BUT this one kind of snuck up on me....I'm really not complaining and actually enjoying the diversion.
Let me explain.... while on the Chicago Yarn Crawl with a car full of friends, we met a woman (sadly I didn't get her name) who shared lots and lots of pictures of knitted monsters she had made. One thing led to another and now we are fully entrenched into making the beautiful monsters by Rebecca Danger.
They are simply adorable and fun to make. I am making Hugo for Xander out of Classic Elite Liberty Wool color 7802. I am only a few rows from being finished with the knitting, I have received the safety eyes I ordered from etsy 6060 (recommended by Rebecca) but still waiting for the fluff for stuffing my monster and the wool white felt for giving Hugo his toothy grin. the pictures below are the front and back of the monster. I think he will be cute and Xander can't wait for his monster to be finished.
While waiting for my fluff and grin delivery..... another monster will definitely be in the making.....
May all your distractions be happy and pleasant.........
