Pattern: Monkey from Knitty.com
Yarn: Glorious Morning Glories by Scout
Needles: 2.75 mm dpns
Knit for me.
Mods: Slip 1, knit 1 repeat heel flap. Short row toes that are longer than they should be because, if I had done another pattern repeat, they would have been too long. I did not do the twisted rib. I was concerned about fit because the stitch count is less than what I normally do. Now I wish I'd done it.
I'm not sure if I like them or not.
What do ya'll think?
All I see are the purl stitches at this point.
Love the yarn. Nice fit.
Did not care for the shaping of the turn. I seem to need something wider, but was feeling too lazy when knitting sock #1 to tink back and redo it. I'll live.
Currently working on a sock of my own design with yarn I have mixed feelings about. Yeah, I'm having a good time.
I like them! That was my first instinct before reading about your concerns and remains my opinion after reading them. You can always change the mods on the next pair. But these look like they fit well and are proportioned to your feet. (ok, except maybe the long toe, but you have to do what you have to do):)
I love the colorway, too! i have a long list of yarn I want to order from Scout!
looking forward to seeing your own pattern!

I like that the purls jump out of you -- makes the pattern more visible.

Actually, I like the long toe. And the colors work well with monkey. Mine are too stripe-defined but darn it...they're my monkeys and I'll wear 'em with pride.

you know, I think you could knit anything in any colour and it would look stunning ! I don't care for blue, and am not crazy about monkeys ... but now I want these socks! Man! first the pink thing (which, now is #3 on my list of favorite colours -- up from #305 bazilliontyfive hundred and seven) ... now the blue (which was ranked 2 less than the pink, until these Monkeys came up on my screen!)

Well, I love Monkeys and those are nice ones, so I'm in agreement with the rest of the commenters.

Love. They are perfect end of the summer looking socks. Now bring me the end of summer, please.

I think they're gorgeous. So there.
Now here's where I confess that I do whatever cuff/heel/toe I like and ignore whatever the pattern says on pretty much every pattern I knit. Yeah, there's no 1x1 twisted ribbing on any of my socks. :)
