I started this pair of socks on 11 October which was the same day that I joined Southern Summer of Socks. I'm using Koigu KPPPM. I love the springiness and stretchiness of it. It's another Monkey sock. I've previously knitted another pair of these using a rather unstretchy yarn which I was not too impressed with but felt that the Monkeys deserved another go as I liked the pattern. I'm finding that the Koigu is wonderful to knit with but I am finding myself wondering whether or not I have enough yarn to finish the sock. Time will tell on that one. Has anyone had any previous problems with not enough Koigu for a sock?

Oh yeah. Big time. I made it through my recent koigus with a very small amount left over. But the first time I used it for embossed leaves, I had a really decent amount left over. It's very hard to tell. But I suspect you'll be fine with the monkeys.
