Monkeys for Marti
I talked before about yarn that just seems to be cursed. My Solstice yarn was like that until I recently made the plain stockinette twin socks with MJ.
Well, I've cured another cursed yarn! On our last knitting adventure afternoon at Neptune Coffee, Marti ripped out the second pair of socks that weren't working with this yarn and gave it to me. After finishing a few projects I cast on for some Monkey socks - seriously, that pattern looks good with almost anything!
Today we were back at Neptune knitting, and I presented her with the no-longer-cursed yarn... but it looked like this:
Yarn: Socks That Rock in Lucy
Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A
Started: 7/3/10
Finished: 7/23/10
And they even fit!
Now for my next STR project - it takes up a good portion of my stash, so it makes sense that I should be knitting something with it most of the time. Erin and I have several unknit kits from past years of the Rockin' Sock Club. I made a goal to knit all of them by November 2011 (if the deadline seems weird, it's for my 101 in 1001 project).
Well, today I'm starting Leafling.

my feetsies are very happy with their new socks! and leafling was a very fun knit, i think that you will enjoy them. thanks for the coffee date!
The monkeys look great! And you're right, that pattern seems to bring out the best in any yarn. I still have the Leaflings to do myself and now I need to go click on the link for 101 in 1001 and see what that's all about. Sounds intriguing!
Love them. That pattern is a classic.
