Monkey Socks


Voila! the finished Monkey Socks.
Pattern: Monkey Socks from Knitty
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM (can't remember what shade exactly)
Needles: #2 dpns

I really enjoyed this pattern. It was easy to follow, hard to mess up and I'm enjoying the finished product a lot. The one change that I made was that I only used 4 needles. I like needle 1 to have half the stitches, and 2 and 3 to split the remainder. i like this configuration especially once the whole heel and gusset bits begin. The yarn was super easy to work. I haven't washed them yet, so I can't report on how they hold up.

These socks look cool - haha. Seriously, they are very pretty. But beautiful photograpy, too. The snow and the beautiful blue sky! I also like the look of the unblocked socks hanging mid-air, as if they were alive.
