Sunday knitting

I had a relaxing Sunday, listening to books, watching tv and knitting away on Mr Foster the monkey. His body is done up to the neck and it's on to the head shaping. This has been a very different pattern for me to knit. It's constructed all in one piece and filled as you knit along. The arms are attached and the shoulders knit just like you are decreasing for a raglan sweater. The head is made like heels of socks. It's moving fast because I'm enjoying the challenge and seeing him take form. As you can see he's a large monkey, 12 inches tall so far. His outfits look interesting too. For his lab coat I purchased a square cable needle and am going to see how these new needles work for me. I'll let you know.
