Imperfections? What imperfections?
My Monkey socks are finished. And you know what? I don't really see the black splotches anymore.
Pattern: Monkey, by Cookie A.Yarn: J.L. Yarnworks Showcase Yarn in the Desert Mesa colorway
Needles: size 0 (2.00 mm) DPNs
Modifications: None that I can think of. Admittedly, I didn't pay very close attention to the pattern instructions for the heel or the toe.
Wow, I really love this pattern worked in this yarn. This line is called "Showcase Yarn" because the color variations are subtle enough that stitch patterns don't get lost. I hope my last post didn't give the impression that I'm sorry I bought this yarn, because I certainly am not sorry. How could I be when the results are so good?
It seems that there has been nothing but sock content around here recently, and for that, I do apologize. I just can't seem to get socks off my brain. Naturally I signed up for Sockapalooza 4. Can you believe there are 1000 participants? Yowza!
I do have some ideas for non-sock projects rolling around in my head, though. What to do, what to do? Perhaps some lace?

They look fantastic - and no, I can't notice any black specks either :)
I agree, the color variation is definitely a nice subtle touch. I signed up for Sockapalooza as well. Have fun knitting more socks, as well as whatever else you think of!
Those are one of my favorite Monkey socks I've seen yet! You picked the perfect colorway for that pattern and I personally love seeing all your completed socks.
Have fun with Sockapalooza. I still don't feel confident enough to knit anything for anyone but family members ... maybe next year.
Your monkey socks turned out great! I'm a total anal-retentive freak about imperfections, so good for you that you can overlook them. Honestly, I can't even see the splotches in these pics.
I joined sockpalooza, too. I dig knitting socks for others!
Just beautiful! I love the subtle color variations. I'm looking forward to sockapalooza, too.
Wow, gorgeous socks! I love the color.
Great Monkeys! I have a thing for orange sock yarn right now, so I especially love them. Love the pink stitches here and there. They turned out great!
everytime i see the monkey socks knit up in a different colorway/yarn, it's almost like you're looking at a completely different pattern.
love your monkey socks! :-D
so very nice
