Sock Monkeys!

Some people love 'em, some people think they're creepy...hopefully you have the former reaction to one of my recent crochet projects!


I made this sock monkey blanket and hat for my college roommate, who's pregnant with her first baby. I've had the pattern saved for a while and was excited to finally make it. It's my first granny square-style blanket, which means each of the squares are made separately and then seamed together at the end. Definitely more work than a regular blanket made in one piece, but the final product was totally worth it. Definitely my favorite baby blanket so far...but then again, it seems like every time I make something it turns into my new favorite, haha!























On a totally separate note, I apologize to the three people who actually read this blog for my long hiatus between updates. The sock monkey set would have been my next post but I wanted to wait until after the shower in October to post it, just in case my friend decided to become my fourth reader ;) Then life just got busy. But I'll try to be better...in the New Year (heehee)!
