why are they called monkey?

I wish I had some profound or deep statement to open this entry...well, I don't. I don't know what to say, maybe I just need more coffee. I finished my Monkey socks by Cookie A. These were for me. I finished, blocked and wore them already. OOOH I love them. Why are they called Monkey? I have no idea. They were a fast and fun knit. Apparently I don't suffer from Second Sock Syndrome. I finished the first sock, then couldn't wait to start the second sock. I was disappointed that they were finished. They were such a fun knit. I cast on my February Lady Sweater on Feb 1. I did the first buttonhole and am so unhappy with it, I have to tink back. I just haven't done that yet, so I feel a little stalled. I'm working on my Waterfall Shawl. I'm hoping to give that to my mother as her birthday present next month.
