Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A from Knitty Winter 2006
Yarn: Sunnyside Ellen Louet Gems Sock Yarn in Shade Pigs in Mud
Amount used: under 100g
Needles: 2.5mm Clover Takumi Bamboo dpns
Modifications: Picot edge cast on, 4 pattern repeats on the cuff

I understand now why this pattern has proved so popular - its quick and easy, yet maintains interest, and works really well with variagated yarn. I doubt this will be my only pair of Monkeys.  These should have been finished two weeks ago but I have the flu Sad

There gorgeous - I love the colour.  

Hope you feel better soon.  Please do take care and don't go rushing back into doing anything - remember flu is a killer if it isn't respected!!
