Sea Monkeys
Undulating waves of Sea Dreams lace
make for a most delightful pair of woolly Monkeys…
And a solo sock-modeling photo-shoot
makes for an excellent isometric stomach muscle workout!

Yarn: Claudia Hand Painted fingerling weight, Sea Dreams 009
Needles: US 1.5/2.5mm for four leg repeats, US 1/1.25mm for fifth repeat and remainder of sock.

Beautiful socks! The pattern and the colorway is a lovely match.
BTW, I know what you mean by the stomach muscle workout. ;)
Beautiful. Love the colourway.
I really love this pattern - it is a pure joy to knit and looks so much more complicated than it is.
Beautiful socks! I love that colorway!
I have the pattern for these and yarn just have too many other projects that I want to do at the moment.
Those came out beautifully! It's so hard to know whether variegated yarn and a lace stitch pattern will work together, but they really did in this case. Lovely and very cozy looking.
Marie, they're beautiful!!
Like everyone's said, the colorway and that pattern are a stunning match.
I'm working on those right now, too, but have only gotten a few repeats done on the first leg. It'll be a while, as my lace stole is occupying all of my time.
Speaking of that, I couldn't find your email address on your page anywhere, so I'll give you mine: myyarns@gmail.com. I would love if you could email me about that Forest Path. I'm intrigued.
Thanks!
Again, those are the prettiest Monkey socks I've seen yet. Seriously.
Those look great! I was going to knit this pattern with a darker colorway, but I really like the colors in yours, very spring time.
Great socks! I love the first picture - I'd be tempted to frame it and hang it on my wall.
Oooh... I love those Monkey Socks- what a great color!
Seriously love the socks. Colour is wonderful.
