WIP Wednesday - Monkeying Around

Even though I've been focusing mainly on making stitch markers this past week, I was able to get decently far on my Monkeys.  I've gotten through four repeats on both socks! I'm still SO in love with this yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in Flashy Mint.


Yup, defintely still in love.


I also wound up some new stripey yarn. Purple, pink and black! These will definitely will be funky. I'm planning on casting these on as a plain stockinette sock that I'll work on during meetings at work. This will be my first "at work" project. Both me and my boss are going to be calling them my Fidgetty Socks.

  11. OH, I'm so jealous! My LYS carries the Dream in Color yarn, but whenever I go they seem to have only ugly colors left. Do you love the yarn???

    Your other yarn will be fun! How awesome you can knit at work in meetings.

  15. I'm not surprised you're still in love with that yarn - it looks gorgeous!

    Glad your boss is understanding. I think so much better when my hands are moving, but I don't think my work would understand that!
