Finished the Panda Monkey socks a couple of weeks ago, and I’m all socked out for a bit. They turned out well despite the splitty yarn.
Yarn: Crystal Palace Panda Cotton in strawberry limeade and sprite green, from the Loopy Ewe.
Pattern: Monkey with a picot hemmed cuff.
Duration: 13 May to 28th June.
I was surprised how much yarn I have leftover, probably enough for another sock. The contrasting heels and toes worked nicely, but I didn’t graft the toes, just a three needle cast off. The pattern was excellent.
hi, I’m Laura, the “sock guru” for crystal palace yarns. I just found your gorgeous socks and would love to put them on our blog!
May I have permission to show your picture and link to you?
thanks, L
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I wanted to drop by and say I love your socks!! Sprite is a great contrasting colour for strawberries and limes.
I really need to learn to knit socks using the Magic Loop Method. *searchs her iTunes for the knitting videos for That Darn Sock episode*
