Its a Monkey! Pathetic I know but all the good puns have already been used for this sock pattern. :-)
The pattern for my first pair of socks for Summer of Socks 2007 is the very popular Monkey. I can see why it is so popular. Its quick, easy to memorise and looks fantastic! What more could you want? I made a lot of progress yesterday because I was battling with the after effects of a migraine I had late Wednesday. I couldn't concentrate on much and still had light sensitive eyes so the computer and reading were out. Knitting was possible and so that is what got done at least until the evening when the nausea came back. Once that happened I just went to bed! :-(
I'm using Posh Yarn Lucia in 'Twinkle', the January '07 sock club yarn, and 2.5mm needles. The only modification I've made is to do a reinforced heel. Love the yarn. Love the pattern. Love the sock. These are definitely for me!
I love the color! It looks so yummy. :) I wonder how many people chose Monkey as their first Summer of Socks pattern. I know I did. :D

I'm sorry to say I was a bit slow on the uptake with your post title! But I do love the colour you've chosen for your Monkeys - I think I must be the only person who hasn't made any yet and seeing yours has pushed them to the front of my 'to do's' list!

What a gorgeous monkey! Much nicer than the original I reckon - I think you've just pointed me in the direction of my next pair of socks. :-) BTW how do you like the sock blockers? Are they worth investing in?
