When I started these, I was the recipient. Learned a lesson on about gauge which resulting in them going to Lora instead. I really liked the Monkey pattern, despite previous issues with it. The Knit Picks yarn is super soft and easy to work with though the splitty factor got to be at times.
I think I can now say I’m not afraid of lace patterns and know how to make a decent pair of toe-up socks. I hope Lora likes them!
