and another little monkey...
Now, I'm definitely not the last person to make the Monkey socks. I made a pair last year, and eventually gave them away because they were about a half inch to an inch too big for my feet. I think this pair will be a little better, because I like my hand knit socks to be tighter than normal socks.
I love this pattern. I turned the heel sometime (mumble-mumble) last month? And when I got to it yesterday, I was only part way through the gusset decreases. I didn't have the pattern with me, but I was able to keep going. The lace repeat is very memorizable, so without thinking too much about it I was able to continue on. I will probably reprint the pattern (or plant myself in front of a computer) when I get to the toe decreases, but on the whole I don't need it. It's a nice change of place to not be a slave to the pieces of paper (especially for knitting on the train).
