Life's too short to knit with a yarn (or colorway) you don't like.

I am finishing a monkey (finally) with bright yarn I dyed myself! But I agree

Life is too short to knit what you don't like!

i've had bad luck with monkeys...maybe i'll try again

mine first one is kind of loose, but it is the first sock I ever started (except little dk weight kids things)

But I'm liking the second one. I'd probably go down a needle size if I did it again.

i'm having sock issues...esp on toe up....

it will fit on my foot, but not go over the ankle

my feet aren't wide and my heels are narrow, but i must be wide across the bottom of the heel around to the crease before the instep
