My Monkeys

This is the first time :shock: I used The Knittery’s yarn to knit a pair of socks and I must say, I really enjoyed knitting with it. However, this yarn has been discontinued. Luckily I still have a few more skeins in different colourways.

When the Monkey pattern was first published 2 years ago, lots of people raved about it :?: . If you checked on Ravelry, there’s about 3464 projects for Monkey alone!! I have always been a slow starter. I’ve never knit anything pattern that has just been recently published. Nevertheless, now I know why so many loved Monkey as it is a very beautiful pattern and I really enjoyed knitting it. :grin:

Blocked Monkeys

Watercolour Monkeys

Pattern: Monkey
Yarn: 1 skein of The Knittery 4 Ply Sock: Merino (Watercolours)
Needles: 2.5 mm

At the moment, I’ve no idea which pattern to knit for my next sock. However, I’m planning on using the Knittery’s Cashmere (Old) in orange blossom colourway. Any suggestions? :?:

    It is a great pattern and the Watercolour is gorgeous. It is sad it has been discontinued. Great socks, I am going to make the Purl-less Monkeys next!!!
