Yesterday, I decided to start knitting a pair of Monkey Socks. I read on some forums and heard on a podcast that it was a really quick and fun knit (It is!!!!). I cast on for these socks yesterday (Friday, 2pm-ish), and as of now (Saturday night, 8pm) I am almost done with the heel (picture taken after starting 4th leg pattern repeat), and I haven't even really spent much time working on it. Now that's a fucking fast sock! Patterns as quick to knit up as this pattern is, are the cure to second sock syndrome. I am using Knitpicks Memories sock yarn for my monkey socks, in the Yukon colorway. This yarn has been sitting in my stash for almost a year now. I am also knitting these socks on 2 circs instead of DPN's like the pattern calls for. I love this pattern. I've wanted to knit it since the winter 2006 knitty was published, but I've put it off. (I don't know why.....I'm nuts so there's no telling why)
