Apple Monkeys

I really love the Monkey pattern, but when I saw that someone had knit the purls, I realized that I liked that even more. I bought some Dream in Color - Smooshy from Robyn's Nest in Chinatown Apple, I really like the way it's a variegated yarn but at the same time it's all in the same colour family. Also I decided that I wanted to make the soles in reverse stockinette because I don't particularly like the way purl bumps feel on my feet (I've got particularly sensitive/ticklish feet).

Here the result:

Took longer than it should have because I did quite a few other projects in between.

I love them a lot and will probably make another pair in another Smooshy colour.
