Hello!

Life has been really hectic for me lately ... But I hope you guys are still interested in this knitalong ... I plan on starting a new pair of Monkeys soon ... How is everyone doing?

Second pair of Monkeys

I made these socks for Tine who got them as a present in our birthday sock swap. They are a German size 39 and I used Hot Socks "Rio Grande", shade no. 953.

By the way, the next pair is already on my needles. I'm really addicted to this pattern.

My Finished Monkeys

Here are my monkeys completed. I'm planning to knit another pair soon in a solid colour yarn so the pattern shows up more. Hope to see some of your completed socks soon.

My First Monkeys

Hi, thanks for inviting me to join this KAL. Here are the Monkey socks I am working on at the moment, I am a bit further on with the second sock now as I was knitting it last night at my weekly Stitch n Bitch meeting. I really like the pattern so I am planning to knit it again in a less busy yarn.

The BeanQueen's Monkey Socks

Here they are!

I was surprised how quickly they were done.

However, next time I do these socks, I will use smaller needles. They really are a bit too big for my feet - & I thought my feet were big, LOL.

Nice socks, nice pattern. Thank you for the idea & the KAL.

My first Mokeys

I finished this pair of socks already in January.
We had a German knitalong for the hand-dyed wool named "Magma" and I decided to knit the Monkey pattern.


And here's a close-up on the pattern and the hand-dyed wool:

I'm really addicted to Monkey socks. I love that pattern and I just had to join this KAL!

Guess what: I'm already working on my third pair of Monkeys. And I think it won't be my last one.

The design is just perfect for any wool. I didn't see a single pair which didn't work out well.
My actual pair will be a present for a very dear friend and I hope to finish it in time for her birthday. The first pair stayed with me and the second one was my pair of socks for a birthday swap of a yahoogroup.
I will post a picture soon.
