A Pair of Monkeys and One Goat Kid
Yay, I finally finished my monkey socks. This was a fun pattern and I'm sure I'll want to knit it again sometime. I'm glad to be finished because I'm dying to cast on for another sock with some great new yarn that came with my Loopy Ewe "Don't Be Blue Kit." (for people that didn't get into the sock club)
A pair of monkeys without shoes:
and with:
(I need to work on my foot photography)
Ellie's little girl is still the only goat baby so far this spring. At this point, we're not even sure if the other does are really pregnant. It'll be really disappointing if we don't get any more kids, but it's too late to do anything about it for this year. (the buck went back home already)
This doeling may be the only one, but that doesn't make her any less fun to watch. She is even friskier than the little lambs are, and she just loves to play on this tree stump.
Up and down, up and down---goats are so agile, it always amazes me.
She's like the other goats too - greedy!!
When she couldn't get enough to suit her, she jumped right into the feeder!
I guess she knows what she wants and how to get it!
ps. Did anyone else feel the earthquake early this morning? I don't think I would have known a thing, but Max woke up most of the household barking at it.

Beautiful Monkeys!!! Aren't they fun??? Yours look superb with those adorable shoes. And baby goat is SO cute! Thanks for the wonderful pictures of her. What do you do with the goats. (Besides play with the LOL!) Do you milk them? I'd love ot have a goad. I'm thinking it's probably against the neighborhood rules though!

Your monkeys are adorable with or without shoes on! Love 'em :) Nope I didn't feel a thing from the earthquake, I wouldn't have known a thing if I hadn't seen the news. One of my sons friends felt it quite a bit at home I guess. Who knows?

Your socks are just gorgeous! They look warm and toasty!
Love that baby goat! I do miss seeing them romp around in our pasture; it's become a go-cart track of late.

Those socks are wonderful; I love the colors in the yarn.
Goats are amazingly frisky, aren't they? Like the lambs, they make me laugh just watching them.
