Hey, Hey I'm a Monkey
Then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer.

The Sockapalooza Socks are in the mail. While they wisk across the country to their intended recipient, we can all admire the glory that is the Monkey pattern. I had been enjoying the many pairs popping up all over blogland, but I didn't truely understand until I made a pair of my own. Now I'm a believer.
Monkey Socks
Pattern: Seriously? Someone still needs the link?
Yarn: Ball and Skein handpainted sock yarn in Mosaic
Needles: I described my fancy trick here - I used 2 US 1 dpns and 3 US 2s
Notes: I obviously went with the picot cuff, but no other mods
Best Thing About This Project: Now that this pair is done, I get to cast on for a second pair!
Now I'm a believer.

I love the colors in that yarn! Gorgeous!
You too, with the Monkeys, huh? I can see I will need to knit a pair myself! I'm sure the recipient will LOVE these!
Someone is lucky to be receiving these!
Beautiful! Thanks for pointing us towards that needle trick. What a great idea!
I really like the picot edge, lovely! I just finished a pair earlier today and was also in admiration of the stunning simplicity of the pattern.
I wasn't all that excited by this pattern before either, but those are lovely! Maybe I'll try out a pair and see if it makes me a believer too.
Beautiful Monkey's!
Beautiful yarn! A great pair of socks!
Monkey's are just a load of fun!
There are really nice colors in that colorway! The Monkeys look fantastic, I am sure your pal will like them. I like them because they knit up so fast. Go forth and continue to let your knitting flow!
That is some very beautiful yarn!
Love the monkeys!
Those are great socks! I really do like the Monkey sock pattern. It's so fun.
your monkeys are fabulous! love them in that colorway :o)
These are up there in the top-ten Monkeys I've seen yet! Mind if I link to them?
Those look great! Originally I just liked the pattern for the name, but I am beginning to think there is a lot more to these.
