Hey Monkey!

It's only taken me 13 months, but guess what I finished?



Yup! The Monkey socks from Cookie A.

I love them! I don't know what took me so dern long! I had that first sock knit down just to the instep and there it sat, unloved and lonely for a full year. Last week I picked it up and decided to give it some love. I was actually pretty scared that I wouldn't know where I was in the 11 row repeat, but just a quick glance back at my needles and I was knitting the correct row in under 30 seconds! I flew through that first sock and had the 2nd one done in 3 days!

Now I don't know if it's the mid-weight yarn or what, but they ended up too big for me. (sigh) Alas, I must find a friend with size 10 or larger feet and gift them off.
