Teacher Appreciation Day/Week

Spawn's 3rd grade teacher likes monkeys. He wanted me to knit her a monkey. I usually knit something for his teacher eeach year and we give it during this week. The monkey isn't real big, about 6 inches. We have used up stash yarns here, Bev's Bear from Brown Sheep and some alpaca boucle without a label for the contrast. The pattern was an adaptation of the pattern in Quick Knitted Gifts. In the end, I think he turned out pretty cute. I tried to knit him a little stocking hat, but that just didn't look right. It ended up looked like a rolled up condom.

Oh yes, don't forget high school teachers either this week. We like candy.
