soul of the home


Which sock pattern do these picots grace? Can you guess?


I've knit 13 of these socks. It has been a long, long while since I knit the last one. Thirteen seemed like a good place to stop. A lucky place, perhaps.

(hint: counting socks on Ravelry won't help you guess the pattern, as some of these socks never made it to Ravelry, apparently!!)


A wise, knitterly friend told me that 14 would be luckier.


...I took it to heart and started planning the next sock!


Do you know what these are yet?


Yep. A Monkey sock.
The 14th Monkey.
Here's to a little extra luck!!

Happy weekend! xo

and little by little, they become its visible soul.

I thought I was bad knitting 6 Monkey socks! You have encourageed me to knit more Monkey socks! I think I will for my Sock Summit trip! It's easily to memorize and I sweat it's faster than vanilla socks! See you at SS!

You can never go wrong with the monkey sock! I think that pattern is enchanted as it just seems to work with any yarn your heart desires :-)

Great pattern! Unless you have a one-legged friend, I'd say 14 Monkeys are also more practical ;-)

Love these monkeys! Very nice. I'm about to start a fourth pair myself. I found a skein of Skinny Bugga in "Miss Spider," and my first thought was "wow! spider monkeys" ;)
