Ta-Da!



Just to prove i did actually finish the Monkeys and the RootyTootyFrootys!
Taken this afternoon while out in the gloooooooooorious afternoon sunshine :o)



I love how the clours are different on each cuff, one has spiralled and the other has chevronned, both have the same amount of stitches but started in a different place, the feet have gone very similar though, weird!
I used the Boyes 3.75mm for the merinOH! and they were lovely to knit with, i might even invest in another set so that i can use 5 needles instead of 4 as i find that easier to handle :o)



The Monkeys were done on two 60cm long 2mm Addis with three pattern repeats on the cuff, something isn't quite right with one sock though, the stitches across one instep are really really tight and i am tempted to rip the whole foot back and fix it, it's very annoying as they are an otherwise lovely pair of socks and in the Southen United football teams colours too :oD
