Chatty Cricket is having a boy! And soon.
Anyway, here's her blanket.
See? It has sock monkey heads on it. Isn't that cool?
And there's a hat! It also has a sock monkey head on it.
I really love this blanket! I kind of want to make one big enough for me. It came together really fast, because it is made with a gigantic hook (although I'm always nervous the big hook projects will fall apart). In spite of the fact that the yarn is acrylic (which is really what I think all baby afghans should be made from), it feels really soft and not squeaky at all.
Alliclaus wants to say hi.
Congratulations, Chatty Cricket!
Um, or I meant Monkeys. Not Monkies.

That Monkey is just too cute! And it looks like Alliclaus just loves to model all of your hard work!

Each time you post a new blanket pic you amaze me more. The sock monkey blanket is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. Hmmm now I must look for my sock monkey, I know he is hiding aroun here somewhere. I love your blanket model she is too cute!

Beth...had I known you could throw a sock monkey on a blanket...my search for Sarah's Christmas present would have been over! That blanket is awesome. And Ms. Alliclaus...as cute as her favorite Aunty!

I love it! You are too talented Beth! How on earth did you do the monkeys! Chatty Cricket isn't lying, those folks love them some monkeys!
Her beautiful daughter even has the cutest monkey that she carries around!

I love the sock monkey blanket!!! Your blankets always amaze me, but since I have a recent love for monkeys this one just blows me away.

That. Is. Awesome.
You have some serious sock monkey-knitting skillz.

It looks so COZY. Winter makes me want to gather all of the blankets in the house and wrap them around me, simultaneously. (Congrats! to Chatty.)

WOW! That is awesome with awesome sauce! Did you create the pattern yourself or can others procure such a pattern? The border is pretty cool too!

Oh my God! I love it! I'm floored, Bethi, you didn't have to make Little Mister a blankie!
But since you did........Thank you! You also would have no way of knowing this, but in our house, we have an extreme love of monkies.
Hurray! Little Mister will love it!
