Long Monkey

a long monkey headband

While playing with the photos of my Monkeys set in photoshop, I created this loooong photo that entertain me to no end (call me stupid, it’s ok) so I decided to share it with you.

It is a closeup on the headband I knitted with the leftover yarn from my Crazy Monkies.  I took the idea from MintyFresh Lace Headband in Ravelry and used the stitch pattern of the monkey socks instead. I also knitted it in 2 halves and kitchener them to get the pattern going up the head on both sides!

Here is the set all ready to go to Israel on August 1. Yes, I am going with it.

Monkey Socks and Headband

Friday Yummy

About a week ago, out of nowhere, the urge to bake landed upon me. I tried to fend it off by baking a simple coffee cake that was received with great appreciation! Instead of fending off the offender it just made me want to bake more!

Here is this week creation:

Do you want a piece of my cake?

You are cordially invited to come and have a piece, but you better hurry!

Have a great weekend.
