loose monkey, tight monkey


last yr when mom went to NY for a trip she brought me back some trekking yarn... I made 1 monkey sock....I wrote the notes I kept for this sock in a little book... I now wanted to make the second sock, and can't find this little book ANYWHERE..
oh bugger!!...
so I cast on anyways trying to remember what I did.... I know it was toe up, short row heel and toe... and also did the ribbing the same.....
I finished the sock today... try it on and BAM!!!
they're both at a different tension... you can tell the difference from the patterning on the socks.... the sock on the left is the sock I just finished... and on the right the sock from last yr..


so whats a girls to do but cast on for a 3rd monkey and cross my fingers it matches one of the 2 socks... lol...

wish me luck....

Oh bugger it! And that would be why Bumpkins leggings are still on the needles (can't remember what I did for one leg to match the other up).

Good luck matching a sock!
