LOTS OF KNITTING NEWS PART 1

To start off Andrea how do you make a link using a word such as blog, here etc in a blog without writing out the entire link? I did see it in your comment and on other's blogs but I don't know how to do it . Can you explain it to me? BUT it was cute very cute putting that link in there. AND notice I didn't remove it?

PHEW finished some knitting projects and some are just in time for mailing.

The Monkey Socks for the Monkey Swap are finished. They need to do some traveling and say good bye to a few friends. Then they will have a bath. I am working on another monkey item for my pal. If I don't like it or it doesn't come out the way it should I won't send it. Can you tell what it will be?

And here are the completed Monkey socks. I hope my pal likes them.
The color is a bit off but you get the idea of how nice they are. They also match up quite well except for a couple rows at the toe where the front and back are opposite.(??????)
They are a little bit too big for me so they should fit my pal's feet since her foot is a tad larger than mine. I have had many compliments on them. Are those hints for a pair?
I have several other goodies in the box for my pal. Everywhere I look now I see monkey items. Oh my poor pocketbook and the Monkey Swap isn't due to be mailed until the end of the month.

I have made the neatest item for my Knit One Tea Too pal. Well at lest I think so. What do all of you reading my blog think?
Here they are right out of the oven and even frosted. LOL
These first two are a strawberry cupcake with strawberry frosting and chocolate sprinkles and a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting.

These next are a vanilla cupcake with a coconut frosting and chocolate sprinkles and a black forest cupcake. Unfortunately, some of the cherry filling leaked out of the cupcake.

AND this is how they are being presented. I hope they survive the trip south of where I live.
OH and all the cupcakes as you see have a cherry on top and the calories removed. HMMMM YUMMMY!!

AND here is a photo of my Solara lying on a hot spot she found on the heated mattress cover on my bed.
