Birthday Monkeys
After three failed attempts at different patterns, I finally decided fall back to a reliable pattern: Cookie A's Monkey sock. I finished these on my birthday while we were driving east toward Wisconsin.
Details:
Pattern: Monkey sock by Cookie A
Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug
Colorway: Monet
Needles: Knit Picks Size 2
Cast on: June 27, 2008
Cast off: July 10, 2008 (Happy Birthday to me!!)
Modifications: Since Colinette Jitterbug is notorious for short yardage, I decided to knit only 5 repeats on the leg & do a short row heel instead of the traditional heel flap w/heel. Turns out I had plenty of yarn left over that I could have added another repeat or have done a gusset w/heel flap.
