Hi there! I’m with Jen on the comment above – if you do the KFB on the stitch with the YO2, doesn’t that leave you with one less stitch? Just curious! I’m planning to tackle these without the holes as well, using your mod of knitting all of the stitches without purling – I love the look of the twists!

Thanks!

Just found your monkey’s through January one.
You are nuts for the monkeys, aren’t you. In a good way of course, and they’re all very nice. I’m about to knit some myself. Finishing up my first Cookie pattern (Baudelaire) just now.
I followed the walker link above and you may want to check it.

Hi – I came via Cara. I’ve been eyeing the Monkey for some time, but wasn’t keen for the holes. I love your mods. So you just did M1 everytime the pattern called for YO? What about in the second row of the pattern where it calls for YO2?

I hope you don’t mind me bugging you with such questions. I’m just really keen to tackle these socks sans holes.

thanks!

I love the BW Treasuries; I recognize so many stitch patterns from there. Thanks for the Eye of Partridge Heel instrux – I think I’ll do that on my next socks. Also, I believe you asked about avoiding the hole in short row heels. Cosmic Pluto instructs (in her tutorial) to wrap the stitches on either side of the heel (the top-of-the-foot stitches that are just hanging out while you knit the heel). It worked for me!
