More socks.........................................

These socks were finished a few days ago but I have had nearly a month of the pc behaving badly so I am only now getting to post these pictures.

Monkeys with a no purl mod in Wollmeise Sockenwolle: Paul.




Micro Monkeys in Fiesta Baby Boom: Wild Oak

Another Micro Monkey pair done

I knitted these in KPPPM #460 purchased from Socktopus. I love these colours!!



Doesn't the colours look fabulous on this sole! These socks are on a UK childs shoe size 6.5.

Small Pink Feet!!

One of my colleagues has had a little girl recently. I don't normally knit presents for people as few people I know really appreciate knitted gifts. But my friend does. She also has a little girl nearly 3 so I knitted these 2 items for them. I will hopefully get to visit this week, now that the settling in period is over. :)



Debbie Bliss Sandals in Baby Cashmerino yarn from the book Baby Cashmerino.




Micro Monkeys made from Crystal Palace Panda Cotton: Strawberries and Lime.

Surprise Credit!

I got a message on Ravelry from a fellow Raveler/RSC member asking me would I like a copy of the picture they had made of the chart of the Micro Monkey Sock pattern (I had modified it from Cookie A's Knitty pattern for my 3 year old). Yes please! Here it is, and credit given to me, even though Nartian did all the hard work. Thank you Nartian! :)

Too many WiPs, and not enough time to get FOs...

The first Panda Cotton Monkeys, they are for a present.



I've also started a micro monkey with what is leftover on the first Panda Cotton Ball.



The Debbie Bliss Rib and Cable Cardigan. I'm currently on the cable section of the right front. The last full piece to knit before finishing it. :),

Thinking Pink Monkey Socks, a pair

These are all done now for the last day of October. Thinking Pink Monkey socks in Louet Gems fingering: colour Pink Panther. I only did the pattern on the leg as these are for closed in shoes.

Hard grafting? maybe not.............

I finished the first of my Thinking Pink Monkeys. I love how this yarn knits up and it will be even softer washed etc. :)





The first of the second pair of micro monkeys.




A progress picture of the Mobius-wrap mark II, and I think it looks way better this time around.




This picture shows some of the buttonhole detailing in the wrap and the lovely colour combinations possible with Claudia's yarns.

SWIP ......?? Saturday WiP pics

These are what I worked on between sessions during the week. I occasionally had to hide the needles so the attendees didn't stab the facilitators with them! :D

Thinking Pink Monkeys with plain feet for a change. The yarn is Louet Gems fingering in Pink Panther.



Micro Monkeys in Iterlacement Tiny Toes: Grape Harvest

Micro Monkeys finished.

One really happy customer!! He told his Playgroup leaders that his mummy knitted his special socks for him, sweet or what? :)

The pattern had to be down sized to accommodate the smaller number of stitches. I used 4 DPNS x 12 stitches on each and reduced accordingly. I can give the exact details if anyone wants. :)

EDIT: The 'pattern' was rewritten as follows
I used 12 stitches instead of 16.
Row 1 knit all
row 2 purl3, knit6, purl3
row 3 purl2, k2tog, knit2, YO/YO, knit2, SSK, purl2
row 4 purl2, knit8, purl2
row 5 purl1, k2tog, knit2, YO, knit2, YO, knit2, SSK, purl1
Row 6 purl1, knit10, purl1
row 7 K2tog, knit2, YO, knit4, YO, knit2, SSK
row 8 Knit all
repeat

The rest of the pattern is knit the same as the original Cookie A pattern but uses 12/12/12/12 instead of 16 etc. :)
I have used KPPPM, Interlacements Tiny Toes, Crystal Palace Panda Cotton and Fiesta Baby Boom yarns so far. I have always used 2.5mm needles to knit this sock. :)
