I made these Cookie A. Monkey Socks for the July 2009 Sock A Month KAL for me and I love them!!! I used Woolen Rabbit handdyed yarn (which was wonderful) in the Iggy Pop colorwave and size 2 dpn. I added mohair to the heels and toes. It was a terrific pattern - easy to follow and great fitting when done. Here is the free pattern if you've been living under a rock in the knitting world: http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTmonkey.html
Made these legwarmers for my Mom with Knitpicks Elegance (70% Baby Alpaca and 30% Silk) in Oatmeal. Got the pattern from One Skein by Leigh Radford. The rib is at the top and the lace is near her foot. She loved them!
