My Monkey Socks are progressing...I had to frog my sock and switch to using size 1 dpns for a better gauge, and I'm much happier with the look of the pattern. I'm turning my heel on the first one.
In other matters, my Mellow/Rutabaga secret swap pal has figured out who I am...and my Knitty secret pal was GambaGirl from Amsterdam...yes, in The Netherlands! She's quite an accomplished musician and knitter, and it was a pleasure to be her secret pal!
I haven't knitted as much as I would have liked to over this week, as a friend's son had emergency surgery (he's OK now) and I watched her 3 other children (2,6,and 9) for 2 days...they were great kids, but I'm bush-tired! :) Keep Samuel (the boy) in prayer as he recuperates from surgery.
By the way, 2 good things came in the mail today...I forget that I had ordered them earlier in the week...my apeldoorn sock yarn (see pic below) and a beautiful sock bag from colorfullife, an etsy shop. I'll try to post pics later...
OK, time for a quick nap, then knit and watch Eragon. My schnauzer, Hannah, is curled up beside me and hubby, and dreaming of boating this summer (see her and Nannie on the boat).

And she enjoyed *very* much being your Secret Pal too! Truly, you were wonderfully generous and spot on with everything! I'll enjoy keeping up with your blog after the swap is over!
