I bet you could make them with a solid color and they would look fantastic!

I have put it off for far too long, because it's so hard to cull through books. Got a nice big box to donate though. I am working a simple alpaca baby hat for a friend. Your premie hats are darling.

Or, as Stacie said, short color runs rather than long. <BR/><BR/>There are a bunch of monkey socks, several of them in solid colors, on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=monkey+socks&ss=0&ct=0Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01889743730658239247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11431157.post-69879013965339844532007-10-12T16:23:00.000-05:002007-10-12T16:23:00.000-05:00I haven't knit Monkeys but they are on my "to do" ...I haven't knit Monkeys but they are on my "to do" list.
