So I finally put down other socks and got over real life enough to work on Monkey, and it's going pretty well. I have done one full repeat so far (I'm knitting them two at a time on circs).

How are you doing? Any problems or questions about the pattern?

socks for smaller feet

[zats_clear]

Hi!  I have noticed that many of the socks are sized for 8-10 women's (US) and I glance down to the end of my legs and see...6 to 6.5s so this will just not do!  I realize that when I get the hang of things, I will miraculously be able to pare down a pattern to fit my feet but right now?  That is just not on my table.

What is on my table is some gorgeous hand painted yarn that really really wants to be between my sole and shoes and not in my yarn basket!  Can anyone direct me to patterns that will work for my little feet?

Also, when it says the sock will be 8" around, that is some "unstretched" length, correct?  Because my foot measures 8" around the ball below the toes where Sensational Knitted Socks tells me to measure, but the socks then say they fit feet 2 sizes bigger than mine!

tia!
