Monkey Socks from Knitty.com
Hello Yarn Fat Sock in Sandcastles
US 2 Brittany DPN's
The only mods to the pattern were using sportweight yarn and I knit 4 plain stockinette rows before the toe decreases as they weren't quite long enough and I didn't want to start another pattern repeat.
I just love this yarn, it survived quite a bit of frogging on sock 1, as I said above the missed decreases. Not hardly splitty at all. So soft and look at the colors, hardly any pooling and pretty well distributed. Now don't get me wrong I do love the looks of pooling yarns, but sometimes it's nice to have it all mixed in so to speak.

In profile!
Ahhhh...Stockinette.......These count for my Socktopia "It's Not Easy Being Green" and Sock a Month KAL March entries. Also the Green Sock KAL
Onward to more socks, sweaters, etc.!

Lovely monkeys!! The colors really knit up nice and evenly for you, nice job!! I'm just about done with the first one---good idea adding the stockinette rows to the toe section.
