This is my first time actually knitting a monster, and I can’t put this thing down. I worked through the entire body yesterday, and I’m doing the arms right now. I decided to go with stripes on the arms and legs, and leave the body a solid color. I think I might even knit a front pocket on this monster in matching stripes so Alex can store things in his monster. It’s unbelievably cute, and very simple to do.

Stuffed this baby last night, and it turned out AMAZING!! I’m pretty darn impressed with myself as this was my first one, but I followed Rebecca’s advice and it worked just fine. Put on his teeth and mouth, and I’ll be handing this to a very happy little boy.
