I made monkeys! Just like everyone else. . .
But how I love em!
Monkey love!
Monkey dance!
The wonderful Sue made me a superb pair of blue Monkeys last summer, which have served as my staple walking sock ever since. It was time to make myself a new pair before I walked hers into the ground. I don’t make socks very often, but they really were a delight to knit. These are made from old maiden aunt sock yarn, in the cherry colourway. I knit them on one 2.5mm circ. I am also sporting my favourite shoes, for maximum monkey fun.

so beautiful, they remind me of my all-time favorite knitted garments:
