Notes

making monkey version with directions from here:
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/wmcurella/elijah-4

added wire to the tail and made the i-cord 6 stitches and tapering down to less.

the abuelita yarn is great, nice and felty, so the holes fill in.

blogged:
http://www.robbyraccoon.com/2010/07/02/monkeying-around/

i found the alchemy juniper which i used originally, to be really beautiful, but completely un-stretchy, making the fabric itself too stretchy (does this make any sense?) and unsuitable for this project. will start over with more abuelita when it arrives.
