Monkey

monkey1

This pattern is written in American crochet notation and uses 8 ply wool and a 4 mm hook. The monkey is 22 cm tall. The banana should probably be yellow but use whatever colours you like for the monkey. I chose brown, pink, red and purple. You will also need black wool for the face and some googly eyes.

  2. Does anyone know what happened to Dimepiece LA celebrity streetwear brand? I am having trouble to check out on Dimepiecela site. I have read in GQ that the brand was acquired by a UK hedge fund for $50 m. I’ve just bought the Dimepiece Ball is Life Pom Pom Knit Cap from Amazon and absolutely love it xox

  8. I have noticed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate financial transaction, a percentage is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers never “save” the commission payment. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by means of doing an agent’s task. In the process, they spend their money plus time to accomplish, as best they will, the responsibilities of an real estate agent. Those tasks include revealing the home via marketing, offering the home to buyers, developing a sense of buyer urgency in order to trigger an offer, booking home inspections, dealing with qualification inspections with the loan provider, supervising maintenance tasks, and facilitating the closing of the deal.

  11. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos

  37. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
    But think about if you added some great visuals or video clips to
    give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could undeniably be one of
    the most beneficial in its niche. Excellent blog!

    layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
