Notes

Holy Jesus this thing is huge and squishy. I think if I knit it again in this yarn, I’d definitely go down a needle size. Maybe even two, I’d probably do it in a 6.

There was one part of this pattern that I really didn’t like but I knit it in such a blur that I can’t remember what it was anymore. I really hated knitting all the limbs. Maybe I wouldn’t have hated that part so much if I had used smaller yarn/needles. Because it wouldn’t have been a giant monkey twisting at every round? I don’t know. I had to stay up all night working on it to get it done in time for the shower. So I’m just glad I finished it.
