Wow, if that came up in a search I'm sure I'd get some "what the ____" 's !
Anyways, the "Like A (Monkey) Virgin" socks were finished last month! A record 12 days of knitting, with school taking time away, these are my fastest socks yet! And I love them! They fit wonderfully, the colors are great, the yarn is great...(wait, how could I not love the yarn...it's Sunshine Yarms!)
Here they are:

Yup that's right. April 1st we had snow and hail, so I cast on another pair of socks! I cast on Cookie A.'s Monkey pattern. It's a well loved pattern that I never even thought of making, since there are only 11,500(ish) pairs out there according to the Ravelry pattern pages. The pattern is free, published in Knitty.
Plus the April Sock Knitter's Anonymous group on Ravelry is having their Cookie A. month this month and we decided to have a side knit-a-long for "Monkey Virgins." Only those who have never knit a pair of Monkeys qualify for the SKA Sockdown Challenge with Monkeys.
After scowering pictures of FO's on the project page I thought I wanted a mostly solid color, but then I found the perfect yarn and it just sort of clicked!
My "Like A (Monkey) Virgin" socks have been started! They are being knit in Sunshine Yarns Classic Sock in Red Queen.

My February Socks died today!
I LOVE the pattern, Bex, by CookieA. But I couldn't get them over my heel. Turns out I was on a needle size too small. The pattern calls for 2.5mm, and I was on 2.25mm. Oh well. They were frogged this morning. It was sad, I even cried a little. When you see the pictures you may understand:
All the beautiful cables:

Well, not real vampires...not that there are such a thing, but...
Yummy Vampire Merino Worsted from my dear friend Dani of Sunshine Yarns. I joined in on her Sunshine Sweater Club that shipped this month. And yesterday I found 9 wonderful skeins in my mailbox!
