It's an Alien!

This project is part of a list of projects that I have assigned myself to finish before I am allowed to start anything new. It is a part of one of my New Year's Resolutions for this year to finish the projects that I have already started.

I chose to finish this project first because I thought it was time for me to do something for myself. I have gotten tired of making mittens (3 pairs!) and laptop cases (2 of em!) that I gave as gifts for Christmas. I do have two more pairs to knit for friends that I have temporarily put on the back burner until this project is finished. I started this project in the summer and set it aside because other things came up that I needed to knit (like cough cough the mittens). I thought I would be able to knit the mittens within the time frame that I had set for myself but then other people began asking for them too and the three pairs I was going to knit turned into five!

The project that I have started up again is a sock monkey! Tah dah!

This is what he looks like right now I have dubbed him Herbert. I think that is his current state he does look like a little bit of an alien he sure is weird. I started on him again on Monday. He was just a set of legs with hips then now he has the top of his head and a little extra!

Herbert also has an arm made, muzzle (red thing in the back) and two parts of his jean jacket. I still have to knit him his ears, two more arms (one for his tail) and his mohawk and then he will be complete! I am quite excited to see the end result. 

That's Herbert on the left. I changed his colours around a little I really liked the maroon colour so I used it for his body and his jacket is being made out of scrap colours that I had left over from another project. This is a good project book I must say! It has a wide variety of sock monkeys and some animals too such as a lion, giraffe and elephant.

  

I made myself a list of projects that I have to complete before I can start anything else. Its going to feel good once this list is done though! 

Do you always have multiple projects on the go? Do you try to eventually finish everything? 

Happy creating!
