Monkeying around

We’ve been renovating for such a long time now that our moving boxes needed a make over. Unpacking everything is not really possible yet, but instead I started sorting some stuff that has been in boxes for 3 years now. And what did I find? 3 boxes of clothes to mend (seriously, from broken zippers to loose hems past missing buttons, I should kick myself more often), and my very first crochet project: a (fairly failed) monkey.

A very successful monkey, though.

I couldn’t help but think that I could do better now that I’m better at crochet, and pattern reading.

Not that I should have.

After all, monkeys like monkeys.
