Monkey socks were so much fun and elicited so many responses - they took me 2 weeks to knit (I am not a fast knitter). I really enjoyed the pattern and if you are thinking about knitting them - go for it! They were a very satisfying project.
Here are the most recent socks:
They are a basic 2X2 rib which will continue all the way down the foot using Fortissima Cotton Colori (which I think has been discontinued!) and #1 DPNs. I realize I like simple after complex. It keeps me from getting bored to change back and forth.
The next will be another pair of Embossed Leaves - they are so beautiful and such a nice pattern, but I am awaiting the arrival of some Pony Pearls #0 DPNs. I plan to use Knitpicks Essentials or Gloss and both seem like they want #0s.
Hope your day is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that's your first go at plying? That looks awesome! Great job!
The yarn you spun looks great!
I was thinking of trying Pony Pearls--do you like them? I'm not a big DPN fan, especially metal DPNs, but I think I might like those.
Wow! I'm so impressed with your handspun yarn. I love when plies of different colors are combined. As for the Embossed Leaves socks, I'm knitting my first pair know and love the pattern and resulting socks -- fun!
The plying looks great.
I'm nearly finished with Mum's Monkey socks and have to agree that they are a great (and fast) knit.
Your spinning is lovely. And the plying is very good. Yes, Great job!
