I finally grafted the last toe last night. The new wooden blockers are lovely. They are the second 'extra' in the Socktopus Bells and Whistles Sock Club. There is a lovely cut-out motif of a ball of yarn and needles, thank you Alice.
The socks are No Purl Monkeys in Posh Yarns Emily ~ Pomegranate. Dpns 2.75mm and a 14 stitch pattern instead of 16 stitches. The cuff is a 2x2 rib instead of twisted rib. I just think it suits the yarn better. :)
I also finished the first of another pair of No Purl Monkeys in Fiesta Baby Boomerang ~ Rainforest. Dpns 2.5mm and a full 16 stitch pattern. This sock also has a 2x2 rib cuff. :) I really like this yarn, it is sleek and well twisted, a bit like STR or Jitterbug. As you can see, no pooling either. I got the yarn from The Loopy Ewe.
One more sock to go and then to cast on for my Monkey Sock Swap 4 socks. :)

Lovely socks and the yarn looks so nice. The sock blockers are fabulous, I like the wooden ones.
The socks look fab as do the blockers.
I love the Baby Boomerang pair, such and unusual mix of colours.
Oooh I love them all. It's always a pleasure to come and visit here, you have some gorgeous things.
Love how your Baby Boomerang socks turned out! :-)

Your site is always fun to visit to see all the different monkeys you knit!
I agree! I love seeing all your Monkeys!! That boomerang is lovely. I hate taking pics of red socks...they just don't like to be photographed!
