Yarn: Pagewood Farm hand dyed sock yarn Denali in colorway Mardi GrasPattern: Facted Rib Socks from The Little Box of Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott.
Needles: #1 (2.25mm) dpns.
Comments: As you know from my previous post about this pair, I love the pattern.
The yarn seems to compliment the pattern with its color and springiness. I keep photographing the texture.
Yarn: Schoeller Esslinger Zimba Top, colorway #125Pattern: My personal pattern
Needles: #2 (2.75mm) dpns
Comments: The yarn seems heftier than regular fingering weight, and I cast on only 56 stitches for these. I toyed with the idea of making a sock monkey out of this yarn.
Then I envisioned a monkey face added at the top of the leg.
Finally decided they'll just have to be house socks. Coordinating with my Nick & Noras.
Could monkeys knit?

Both socks are wonderful looking! I love the stitch pattern of the Facted Rib. And, yes, the gray pair will be perfect with your sock monkey jammies - Love the jammies too! I think The Loopy Ewe carries Pagewood Farm yarn - I'll have to check it out.
From Suzzanne with two z's: I am inspired by your finished projects. I have a skein of Pagewood waiting for inspiration. Now I know what will happen to that skein of yarn. The textured pattern looks great with the handpainted yarn. Suzzanne
...and I was thinking to myself; "Sock Monkeys!" before I scrolled to the bottom of the page.
Your socks are always nice. Cute Monkey photos too.(vbg)
Great socks! I knew that the Facted Rib socks looked familiar....I have the Little Box of Socks patterns! Your socks look terrific! I'll have to try this pattern now.
The gray/brown look so good, too! You have such neat patterns!
2 beautiful pairs - The texture and color on Mardi Gras is perfect next to the simple but beautiful gray socks!
Love your new socks. Those utilitarian browns would get lots of wear on my feet! I really like them!
I have been thinking about a sock monkey for BG, but I can't find the perfect pattern. I liked the one Knitpicks had, but it was very short-lived. A little monkey for my monkey.......
