Cheeky Little Monkey pattern in the Winter Knitcircus

I've been a really bad blogger but mostly because life has blindsided me for the last few months. Long story short, I lost my job in July, Thing 1 was hospitalized (he's fine now) in August and my dearest Grandmother passed away in September. Major suckitude to put it mildly.


However, the fog is starting to lift (at least I hope it is) and some good news came my way today. A couple of my patterns were published in the Winter issue of Knitcircus that went live this morning. I introduce to you the Cheeky Binky Ball and the Woobie blanket.



I'm thrilled to be a part of this beautiful Knitcircus issue. They truly were a top notch organization to work with. To celebrate this issue going live, I'm giving away a Winter Knitcircus pattern collection to one of my blog readers. To enter, please take a look at the Winter Knitcircus issue and in the comments, let me know which of the lovely patterns (other than the Binky balls and Woobie) that you might consider knitting. I will choose the winner at 10 am EST on Saturday, November 13th.
ETA - Congratulations, Kris M. you won the Winter Issue of KnitCircus prize!
And if you can't get enough of the Cheeky Little Monkeys, stop by my Etsy shop to buy an original handknit/felted Cheeky.

Oh :( I'm so sorry about your grandmother. But I'm glad Thing 1 is doing good.
I saw "indigo Muse" pop up in my google ready and was all happy. I do enjoy reading when you do blog :)

other than your patterns? I think like Robin I'm quite fond of Sweet Cicely. And Frost. :D

So sorry to hear about all the unpleasant and sad things that have been happening in your life.

When I saw the Cheeky Monkeys, all I could think was how could I make one of these for me (without having babies). Then, who could I make these for?

This issue is fantastic and there are many things I would like to make but the Monte Vista Collar is on my radar for now!

Hope life is turning around for you! Glad you are back.

Hi, I run a non-profit group called W.E.L.L. (Women Empowered and
Loving Life). We've got a craft event going on until the end of
October making slippers for women and kids in battered shelters. We're
coming up pretty shy on the number of actual slippers donated, and so
we're trying to involve local teachers and groups. Please check out
the event, and please pass the info no to any/all people you know who
might be interested. It's easy to help and a great cause.

Thanks for your time,
-Brittany Whittenberg
