The monkey is a hit \ud83d\ude42

\nThis is how I found them last night when I went to turn out the light.

\nAnd this is how I found the monkey this morning after Em had left for school.
\nI had a few requests for specs and such.
\nPattern: From the new UK magazine, “Simply Knitting”, Issue 3, but it can also be found in Fiona McTague’s “Knitted Toys”<\/a>.
\nYarn: Rowan Kid Classic in “Bear” and “Wild”.
\nA relatively easy knit, lots of little bits, but they’re pretty easy to make.
\nAnd now, we’re going to have the first ever Random Knits Blog Contest. Yay!! Em can’t decide what to name the monkey. He is very definitely being referred to as “He”, however.
\nSo, it’s up to you guys. All suggestions welcome, and Em will decide the winner. The winner will receive a lovely, lovely tiny skein of Margaret Stove’s Artisan Lace yarn in “Paua”, and a Lace Scarf Pattern, also by Artisan.
\nThe skein is heavenly soft, hand dyed laceweight merino. It’s the cutest tiny little skein, but it has 300 metres (328 yards), which is enough for a lace scarf, I’m told. The yarn is still on it’s way to me, the colour was chosen by Em, and I’ll show you the actual skein as soon as it arrives, but here’s one picture of the colour.

\nAll you have to do is suggest a name for the monkey, and Em will pick the one she likes best.
\nEntries close at 8.30pm local time on Sunday 21st August, which is early hours of Sunday morning in the US, and late morning\/midday in the UK and Europe.
\nSo what are you waiting for? There’s gorgeous yarn to be won! \ud83d\ude42
