Sock monkeys!

Here are two of the nursery monkeys for my Cath Kidston obsessed friend. I love the colours of them and they were a pleasure to make. I`ve called the baby one Tilly and the larger one Mr Dots.

I am having a sock monkey disaster and need some inspiration in order to carry on and finish her lol!! I have made the torso and the legs but the legs seem to short and one is fatter than the other!! I have made the tail and the arms (the arms are far too skinny lol) and stuffed them and I have made the ears but they just seem to long!! I now dont have a clue how I am going to join all these bits together it seems really complicated!! I am frightened to finish in case I hate it lol!!! Help me love my sock monkey lmao!!

Oh I love the baby ones!! They look lovely! I'm just finishing off a baby one myself and they really are cute!!

Popkins - The baby ones are my favourites as they are sooo cute! I`m not keen on the larger ones but everyone has their own preference.

Can`t wait to see your baby sock monkey!

Well I've done it, I've made my 1st sock monkey I say I but my boyfriend helped out a bit too, he did the mouth and tail after I stupidly chopped it thinking it was the arms and consequently had to sew the pieces back together, won't make that mistake again! :eek:

He's not the neatest looking thing, and he needs some buttons for eyes but here he is:

Finally I have finished my first sock monkey!! I still dont like her legs I think they look too short but I followed the instructions exactly so not sure what I did wrong?! Also her ears are too long rather than square but I will know that next time!!

Here is my daughter Kirsty holding Pinky!!!



sorry the pics are not too good but she wouldn put it down!



Now I have to get on quicksmart with my next two monkeys for the other children before they all start fighting!!
