Monkey Socks IV

Here I am finally with a knit. I had to finish these up so that I could use the rest of the yarn to make something else.

Monkey Socks IV. Yes, I've made three other pairs of these. The first pair was suppose to be for myself, but they didn't fit, so the BFF has them now. The next two pairs went to Haley and my MIL. So, I finally have a pair for myself. These are actually the third in a matching series for the us girls. Can't you see us now? Hanging out in our matching socks, roasting chestnuts and singing carols. Fa la la lala lala la la.

I thought that the monkey was such a fun and fast pattern that I could use it for gift socks. There are a few friends and family whom have asked. Others have been begging. And once I finally decide to make them I could use this pattern. This process usually takes two years. Now I've decided that I need another quickie pattern. Suggestions? Cause I am so taking a break from the monkeys for a while, but have another gift pair I need to make.

I took these pictures in a hurry to get them up on the blog. It was a little tough to show off ankle high socks without showing off leg hair stubble.
