You must have steam coming off your needles, Gilraen!

Love the colours, it reminds me of tapestry!

Gorgeous, what lucky boys you have.
Beautiful!! wowee love the colours!
They are lovely!
Those socks are sooo sweet! As you know, I'm a sucker for Koigu as well. I'm beginning to think you have a problem with socks........!
Love the colors of this pair!
Just beauteous!
Gorgeous socks
I too am frustrated by the Monkey swap - how people can not live up to their commitments - I just don't understand - because if you look at their blogs they are freely admitting that they are knitting other projects and not working on their monkey socks - that is what my PAL did - and an excuse at the last hour of the day they were do that they had finally cast on - I don't understand - and these are also the people who don't communicate with us during the process - which I am finding is the first clue we may be shafted - I can't believe - my pal had her package two weeks before the due date and I did nothing else but get her package done first and out of here when I had other things I could be doing too - and I also was disappointed in another swap that had plenty of time - I mistakenly took the person's silence as trying to be anonymous - and guess what an angel was assigned and has spent the last four months working on the socks which she said she'd do - and I have a hard time even looking at her blog because she is ultra religious and I don't even understand what she is saying by the time she mixes in her bad kids and louse of a husband comments - BOTTOMLINE - I'm reevaluating my participation in SWAPS all together because people are just unreliable to live up to their word - Did their parents teach them to be this way? I doubt it. I guess I'd rather just knit socks in colors and styles I know I'd like. If only one hostess would pair me up with a normal person who did what they said they'd do and would occasionally blog about it and get the package out by the due date. OK I'm done - thanks for letting me vent - Did not feel I should on the official Monkey line because Rebecca has been trying to get the person to send an email update but they just are not doing that either - hard to make someone live up when there are no penalties = and not being in the next version of Monkey Four won't hurt their feelings - and the person who is shafting me openly blogs about what a great package they received and took 10 pictures of what they received and gushed over each piece - Unbelievable
Your socks look absolutely fantastic - so very cozy and warm! And I agree, the colorway that you chose is stunningly beautiful! Happy Knitting!
Thank you for all the lovely comments about the socks. I appreciate all the lovely feedback. :)
Anonymous I totally sympathise, I'm clocking this one up to experience and moving on. I will call it a PIF experience and move on with my life. I had a wonderful recipient pal Sheryl and that has made the swap bearable for me. :)
Fab socks - they look great.
Hee! So cute, and love the Koigu.
