Monkeying around!

Astonishingly, I finished one of my Monkey socks! I loved knitting this. Although, according to addled brain, not quite enough to start the other one just yet, as is always the way...as per usual brain and hands wandered off into a crochet-stash-blanket reverie. No sign of them yet...(or the other sock for that matter).

Being the matching accessory type, I thought I'd team the solitary sock up with a different type of knitted monkey:


 The other accessory available for this wardrobe is, of course, this perfect Little Monkey:

 

Monkey-tastic! Now I just have to finish start that notorious Second Sock. I wonder how long the other sock will be in coming...what's the record, do you think?!

To finish up, here's an aptly-themed pop quiz, pop-pickers! Which band is this...?!

  1. Ooh, I love the way your sock has worked out. I do like this pattern, might make me another pair! And your 'Monkees' shot at the end is just great! Love the Mike Naismith (?) hat!

  3. That yarn is gorgeous. It works really well with the 'Monkey Socks' pattern. So glad I bought a skein. Can't bear to use it yet though! It's just so lovely. Give Trixie a stroke for me. Ros
