monkey socks by Cookie A.yarn - Cherry Tree Hill, Supersock Solids, color: bark
modifications - 8 pattern repeats instead of 7 - I hate short socks!
started during my flight to Spain - finished at home - today.
Monkey socks are the perfect knit on a long flight to somewhere....the pattern feels familiar, is easy to memorize but keeps one interested. The yarn is beautiful to work with and the color allows the pattern to be elegant. I have made them before in a variegated color-way, but I wanted a more sophisticated sock. The rich brown of this yarn gives subtlety to the pattern.

The Monkey Sock never disappoints. They are beautiful!
Those are lovely! :)
Fabulous! I totally agree that the Monkeys look much more grown up in a solid colour. Plane rides are perfect for sock knitting I think.
Beautiful photos and knitting.
I love them! I love that colour too. I have a pair of Monkeys that were gifted to me, but I so need to try this pattern for myself!
awesome socks! nice work.
lovely socks, and perfect color, sofisticated, i would like to be able to knit them, but unfortunatly never learnt... maybe one day i'll try!
yum!
Beautiful socks! I have a skein of slightly variegated deep brown sock yarn and I've been thinking that it would pair great with Monkeys. Your version confirms it may be a good choice!
I love that pattern - so pretty!
What a fabulous pair of socks!
They are lovely. I do like plain yarn more than variagated.
ooo, very nice. i do love that monkey pattern and you've done a lovely job.
These are really gorgeous! I've just added you as a friend on ravelry.
Thanks for your comments on my blog! I sympathise about the shortage of good fabric stores. I am always jealous of bloggers in the USA who seem to have access to amazing shops either locally or by mail order.
Oh mercy! These are, without a doubt, the Very Most Gorgeous Monkeys I've ever seen, love the colour of the yarn, (I could drink it!), these are seriously beautiful socks!
Thank you for coming by and your kind comment re: blanket and sweater. I've added you to my blog roll.
