On the set of "The Wild Monkees," 1967.

"Peter Tork comes over and plops down next to you in a director's-type chair. He starts clowning around, but after a bit he settles down and starts reading a book. He sees you looking and explains, 'This is a book of some of the excerpts of the Upanishads. Actually, these are excerpts from ancient Hindu writings. I guess you could say that in a sense they are like the Bible, only they were written many centuries before the old testament.' Peter stops speaking for a moment. 'Am I boring you?' he asks gently. After you assure him that is not boring anyone, he continues, 'Well, the Upanishads are simply but beautifully written. I mean, they are quite easy to understand. You can buy the Mentor pocket edition for about 50 cents —' Just about that time, Peter becomes aware of 16's camera focusing on him. He promptly becomes a clown again, laughing and joking and holding his book myopically up to his eyes. You realize that you have just had a glimpse of the real Peter Tork — the sensitive, sincere young man who hides behind the veneer of a silly-funny Monkee. And it makes you feel very warm that for a brief moment you have glimpsed Peter Tork's secret self." - Gloria Stavers, 16, February 1968

So I think we all can tell who my fav is LOL

Anyway I've had so much fun drawing the boys. Peter was fucking DIFFICULT though. I think it's because in my brain he's this soft squishy little jello but irl he's actually got sharp features, lol. BUT ANYWAYYYY Nez was easily the most relaxing to draw. Something about those eyes. Mm.

#i really hope the three people in the monkees tumblr fandom see this and like it #themonkees #the monkees #mike nesmith #peter tork #micky dolenz #davy jones #monkees #fanart #sketches

This clip from The Monkees will always fucking kill me

There's just... so much going on

• Mike's undies saying hello as he starts off the struggle cycle by getting his leg caught and then trying to transform into a bat until Davy helps him stand up properly (and for a brief second he's rocking a crop top)

• Peter just giving up halfway and letting gravity take over (also rocking a crop top) before he grabs the ladder again and does a split in the air before getting down

• Micky going down the ladder like it's a fireman's pole and landing on top of Peter while he's still struggling to get his head out of the ladder

• Davy carrying Micky bridal style to help him down while Peter still fumbles with his shirt

Here is the Davy Stripey Sweater!

It was a TRIAL!

The color scheme was, first of all, very difficult to see and decipher. The original sweater that Davy wears is actually a printed jersey fabric. The smallest feasible stitch I can do is a single crochet, and that was about the size of what a larger stripe would've looked like. I had to adjust tremendously to make it work. I did get through one go through of the actual stripe pattern (yes, there is a pattern!). It was also a different number of stitches in width which made a little difficult to figure out the neck hole size and the tightness of the ribbing. I also adjusted the original general pattern for sweaters to make the neck more comfortable, but it did turn out a little floppy-ish.

On the positive, I used up a lit of colors I normal would never touch. I really liked how unique the color scheme of this sweater is, and once I got the hang of it, I flew through it when I didn't have any work to do. I still need to snip a few fluffy here and there, but it's a really.cozy sweater! Once it goes through the wash it should relax a little and be even more comfy to wear :)

I find it really interesting that there were sweaters like this back in the sixties! I don't normally think of these kind of crazy stripey sweaters as relevant to that era... anyway, here's to Davy! 🍻 below, my friends, is the pattern!

The pattern is from this video:

The only thing I did differently was by adding a few more rows to the back panel. Instead of doing ten rows for the shoulders, I did 4 rows on the back panel. That way, the neck wasn't choking me much. The rest I followed to the tee.

Color scheme:

The color scheme was as close as I could see, but if you see something different, by all means! :) The sleeves start (after the blue cuff) at the 2 rows of red portion of the pattern you can see on the right side. From there, just follow the pattern until the end, then go back to the beginning (I've heard this before...)! Please let me know if you all need more clarification on the pattern 😊

I'm excited for the next one!!!!!!!
