Monica is done!

Knitty.com's Monica <--click that is! This is the one for my 18 month grand daughter.

Here are the changes I made. The three rows of garter stitch at the hems were not enough, so I added a couple rows of single crochet to keep it from curling. And the entire front I added an eyelet pattern. I'm tickled on how nicely it came out. I've now CO one for my six year old grand daughter. The colors will be reversed with the darker green on the ruffle. The front will be a less complicated eyelet pattern.

And that's how I spent most of my day...knitting. Got three loads of laundry done, the washing at least. We don't have a dryer or a clothes line, so my daughter takes them over to the laundrymat. And I made some of our favorite peanut butter candy. <--click It's quick and easy and even has lots of fiber!

I feel restless already, and it's only 8:30 am. Guess I'll do a little housework and see if that doesn't calm me down!

As far as information from the poll about which yarn to use for the Fiber Trends Clogs, Wool of the Andes from KnitPicks seems to be the all time favorite. It's really inexpensive in comparison to others and I can get the undyed even cheaper. Thought I'd try to buy in bulk and then dye as I go to create unique clogs for those lucky enough to get them for Christmas. Of course this is all pending on how easy I find them to make!
