It's been sent now, so here's that secret project - a jumper for the newly arrived daughter of my friends D and C. C comments sometimes as monkeypask, so there had to be monkeys.
Pattern: Made it up as I went along. Top down raglan with seed stitch edging and buttoned opening along the raglan line.
Yarn: Emu superwash wool from my Grandma's stash.
Needles: 4.5mm circs and dpns
Notes: This was a fun knit and a quick one. I wrote down what I did as I went along, mostly, so I could do it again. The button tabs in are slightly the wrong place, the top one should probably be nearer the neck. I looked and looked for monkey buttons, couldn't find any, so made some out of Fimo. This won't fit the baby yet, but hopefully she'll grow into it before it's too hot to wear.
Here's another monkey close-up.
