It dunt fit.  :(  Bugger. This fits though. It's the exotically named 109-3 jacket in 'Alaska' with cables, raglan sleeves and hood from Drops.  I don't know how they come up with these names, I really ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=112 AWESOMEZ! Sweet Tee from IK Spring '09  but with AWESOME pirate skullz instead of girly wet flowers. Go knit one.  Go knit five!  I used the recommended yarn on the recommended needles, and didn't change anything except for my Mighty Skullz and it's perfect.  I was a bit worried when it came ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=111 'A Curved Shawl'.  It's not a very imaginative name, is it?  It's not even particularly descriptive.  It makes no mention of the pretty little circles that lure you in, or of how fricking hard it is to knit into a loop cast on in laceweight yarn, or how mind numbing ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=110 It's amazing what a small monkey can acheive with gaffa tape, scissors and some garish purple waterproof weird stuff. Santa brought me a new bag for Crimbo, but it's one of them there ones with a zip along the top and gappy bits at the ends and it's rained and snowed ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=109 Imagine how classy I'll be at late night shopping with this little number.

I'm not sure having a dead mouse glued to the wall gave the best impression to the kitchen fitters, and they made a point of leaving him there for us to peel off ourselves.  ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=107 I waited and waited for a sunny day, and I woke up this morning and there it was.  So I grabbed the camera, arranged things in as arty as way as I could be bothered, i.e. not very, and bugger me if it didn't start pissing down. Hey ho. Have I posted ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=106 Have you ever known fear?  The cold shiver up your spine.  Icy fingers squeezing your heart and slowly tightening their grip until your vision goes black and you fall into a swirling abyss of horror.  All you can hear are the screams of lost souls, and the loudest scream of ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=105 Ahh summer. The time of year that a monkey's thoughts turn to fudge and crazy golf (eight different courses so far this year. Beat that suckers!). It's not easy being a three inch monkey in a six foot world, so this year the Professor booked a surprised holibag in ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=104 300g Knitwitches silk + 12 days knitting = another spidery shawl. This time the full hexagon spider's web from VLT. If you're making this one, be warned. The yardage printed is a gross underestimate. I had more yarn than the pattern called for and still had to stop ... http://super-monkey.co.uk/nanalog/?p=103
