’80s Child

Socktober’s not over for another 45 minutes according to my clock (Central Daylight Time). I’m sliding in under the wire here…


Scrunched Monkeys! It’s very ’80s, I think.


This is how the sock starts off when I put it on.

I actually finished these about two weeks ago, but put them through the wash before pictures because I wore them for nearly two days. Love these socks!

Monkey by Cookie A
Source: Knitty
Yarn: Zen String Serendipity Fingering in “Reflection” (September 2007 Sock Club color)
Needles: KnitPicks 32″ 2.25mm (US 1) circular
Notes/Thoughts: I love, love, love them. The color is not one I would normally have picked for myself (like cotton candy, according to Devon), but that’s what a sock club is for. The yarn itself is fantastic: beautifully soft, yet sturdy.

Oh, and I said I was going to give these to my boyfriend’s mom? I changed my mind. Hee, hee. It turns out she doesn’t like all pastels (only certain peaches and yellows), so they’re mine, all mine! I’ll churn out a different pair for her in December, with more appropriate colors.

    Those look great and I want those shoes:) I have a thing for shoes with straps. I got a toe hat done for socktober;) I think I’m going to do a sweater in nov. Like other than thermal. Something quick and worsted like wicked or ariann.
