I had no idea that knitting the Monkey socks would be so much fun. They’re the perfect counterpoint to the MS3. I don’t know which to pick up first. When I need a bit of simple, I pick up Monkey, and when I want to concentrate, MS3 is right there. Monkey gets shoved into my backpack to be pulled out whenever, MS3 stays at home.
I am changing a few things, like the heel flap. I like the density of the slip st. version. Those little stripes, what a lot of pleasure they give me. Easily entertained.

Your socks are gorgeous! On my monitor the colors look so soft and muted – are they? What is the yarn?
Perhaps easily entertained, but I think it is wonderful to be delighted by details: they are always around us, available to the observant. It makes for a full, rich everyday life.
Nice socks :), beautiful yarn.
Love your Dream Monkeys.
Cool monkeys! Is Dream really that dark? I also love seeing what color pops up next and how the colors play next to one another.
Oh, how nice. Lovely striping in the subtle shades.I haven’t tried that pattern yet, it’s on THE list. I’ve been working on the MS3, but haven’t had much time to cencentrate on lace this week.
This a such a beautiful color for yarn!
Those things are too damn addictive by halves. Fun, yah – but they suck you in.
I love the sock yarn! I’m also currently bouncing between Monkey Socks in Lime & Violet yarn (on Knitpicks 2.5mm circs), and the MS3 in Knitpicks Alpaca Cloud. I’m about halfway through Clue #3. It’s been great fun so far, with no errors more than one row away (knock on wood).
I just wish I could justify buying some of your wonderful laceweight; unfortunately the lure of a new house is putting the brakes on my yarn-spending for now.
Have you tried the “Jaywalkers” yet? They’re even more addictive than the Monkeys! One of each on the needles now, and I got sucked into the MS3 frenzy, too. Watch my “Dishcloth Tag” box show up this week! This working for a living crap is really interfering with my knitting time! Love your colors!
Those colors are fantastic, like a clear lake at sunrise.
Pretty yarn. I like how the socks are looking. I’m working on MS3 too. I haven’t gotten past Clue #1 though. Not enough uninterrupted sit down and knit time.
Love the lavendary bluey purpley smokey yarn.
Very nice! I love the colors.
Okay. Now I’m finally cnvinced that I must have some! I love yours.
Your Monkeys are gorgeous! Love the color play on them!
I covet that yarn!!!
