Making Progress
Well, I finished the socks for my Sock it to me Pal. I'm not sure if I should post a picture or not. It's supposed to be a secret. I did the Monkey socks. They turned out really cool. I started the next pair of Monkey's for my Monkey swap pal this morning. My Sock it to me Pal sent me some really cool stitch markers. I haven't had a chance to post a picture yet, but I will this weekend. Thank you to my Sock Pal! I really like them! I'm off to do some "monkey-ing around".
