So, I started the Monkey socks from the extremely talented Cookie A. I'm finally trying out my Yarn Pirate merino/tencel yarn. It's a little splitty but soft and silky smooth! I don't know what happened on my Fleece Artist socks. I though it would be "fun" to do some plain stockingette stitch socks but apparently not. I got the first sock done really fast but they were just boring me. The stitch pattern is easy but interesting on the Monkey socks!
Next, out of nowhere, I got the itch to knit Ms Marigold! So, I cast on for this last night with some Rowan Wool Cotton in a nice teal color. It should be a really quick knit. 
I promise you though I will have an FO to show you as soon as I finish that grafting. BTW, thank you so much for all your suggestions for seed stitch grafting!! I will be attempting that first thing this weekend (when I am not tired).

Love ms. marigold, and that sock yarn!
That color looks gorgeous for ms. marigold! I'm excited to see you joined the Phildar Swing Jacket KAL.
LOVE the colors in that sock yarn! Can't wait to see the FO!
Those monkey socks have been calling my name too. I tried to co last week, but realized I don't have the right needles. I was thoroughly disappointed!
Great WIPs! And I love the colors you're working with- especially the teal for Ms. Marigold - beautiful!!
It's more fun to start new things! Those socks are going to be mighty pretty.
Can't wait to see your Ms. Marigold and your Lucy in the Sky!!!
Ooooh! I really like the yarn for Monkey! That's a cool colorway.
Ach - you've caught my castonitis!
:)
