damn dirty monkeys
well it’s not technically the monkeys i’m angry at, it’s the hemp that’s being used for the monkey bag. i finished the bottom of the bag and was about half-way up the sides when i came across a knot in the hemp - two different strands tied together. the stuff AFTER the knot is smooth and uniform and pleasant to work with. the stuff BEFORE the knot was a bitch. nay, a boatload of bitches. it was scratchy and uneven and had big lumps and made my fingers very sad and looked crappier than the after-knot stuff. so i ripped out the whole thing last night and as soon as i finish this post, i’ll start over with the good hemp. as usual, we’ll see how it goes.
