The Sock Monkey

This is one of my favorite sweaters, the sock monkey. I was working on one at a dinner party once, and one of the other guests coined the name. What's really fun about this sweater for me is that the addition of bright color makes what could be a very dull and conservative garment interesting and fun. The yarn for the body is Annabel Fox Aran, a discontinued yarn that I purchased about four years ago on Ebay. I have about 1.5 hanks left. I'd love to find some more, or something like it, but have not come across it. The sweater on Gidget has a different color for each band. I'm pretty sure that this sweater was sold some time ago. The pink trimmed sweater is a custom piece for a little Yorkie named Delilah, 15 years old and ornery. She wanted to bite my hand off during the measuring. She finally had to be muzzled!
