Mutant Monkey from Outer Space!

monkey front


this mutant monkey is an alteration caused by not having the same guage as the creator, and then messing up and sliding the pattern repeats by 1/2 each time. the yarn is magic garden "Buttons" in 882 and the pattern, aside from the monkeyness, is basically generic, only i decreased at the sides instead of a standard gusset, a la the new sock book New Pathways for Sock Knitters!

'nother view


this sock goes to Amy, but there is one on the way for Maggie, theoretically... i can't guarantee that it'll be the same pattern, i can't guarantee Amy's second sock will be anything like this... i can't even guarantee it'll fit either one!


sigh...
