Apple Hill Monkey socks

I finally got some pictures of my purple monkey socks! I'm really pleased with these, I love the colors and knitting with this yarn was a wonderful experience. It's very smooth and easy to knit with - I knit these socks very fast!

Έβγαλα επιτέλους φωτογραφίες τις μωβ κάλτσες με τη δαντέλα! Είμαι πολύ ευχαριστημένη, λατρεύω τα χρώματα και το πλέξιμο με αυτό το νήμα ήταν μια υπέροχη εμπειρία. Είναι πολύ λείο και εύκολο στο πλέξιμο, οι κάλτσες αυτές ήταν πραγματικά γρήγορο πλεκτό!

  1. I was wondering do you knit your socks on dpns or magic loop? I've tried both and I hadn't figured out which I like better. Just curious. Those sock are beautiful. I love the color.

  2. Thank you! :D I knit all my socks on dpns. I recently learned magic loop and I think I'll use it for hats and sleeves in the round, but I like dpns for socks. Probably because that's how I learned to knit socks. For this pattern, I would recommend dpns, because you can have one pattern repeat on each needle - no need to use stitch markers!

  3. Those are adorable. I think I'll have to knit another pair. My first one shrank when I accidently threw them in the washing machine.

  4. I love the colors in this yarn. And the Monkey pattern seems like a lot of fun to knit. I suspect I'll make myself a pair one of these days!
