Finger update
The poor, dear, injured finger is improving. Purling still requires a great deal of strength and mental fortitude, but it is getting better. I like to think that the knitting is helping the mobility and not hurting it. :)
So I'm about a pattern repeat or two from starting the toes on the Monkeys, and I just have to say this is the easiest pattern to memorize ever! I love it and will definitely be making a non-self striping pair which will better show off the awesome pattern.
Just so this isn't a lame photo-less post, here is a picture of a giant dandelion from my trip to Oberlin. (Okay, so I think it was really a hydrangea without its petals, but whatever.)

A few small delays
Greetings, Interwebs.
Still working on the Monkeys, but have had a few setbacks recently.
First, there was the move. The Husband and I bought our first home right before my birthday (mid-May) and had a whirlwind of packing and moving and cleaning and painting and unpacking and more cleaning. We now have an awesome house with this deck (go ahead and be jealous):
It sits on a pond and there are ducks and geese and herons and all sorts of other waterfowl.
The second, and more painful setback was a massive cat bite I suffered at work 10 days ago (I know it was 10 days ago because I just finished my antibiotics). It was right on the distal joint of my left index finger and the finger got all swollen and there was pus and I had to go to the ER and I'm still following up with an orthopedic hand specialist, so I'm a bit slow yet. It feels much better now, though, so these socks should be done soon(ish). Here's how they're looking these days:
