My grandson loves giraffes anyone know where I can find a pattern to make a sock giraffe please.
Love all of your makes I need to get some other stuff done then I can get on with my sock animals.Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes0 -
I'm getting there lol, sewn on the arms & tail & need to sew the ears & mouth on. My daughter has claimed it as hers causing arguments with my other children lol. so looks like I had better get a move on with making them. I'm not thrilled with it yet but hope the finishing touches will make all the difference. Children don't care though:D

I'll make some and send them to you. I'm a bit concerned about buttons on them though, so what about sewing on eyes with thick thread, would that be ok? The website bought tears to my eyes, i might have a go at knitting some of the clothes. Let me know your address and I'll see what I can do, might take a few weeks though.0

Angie, just be aware that when you're making fluffy sick monkeys, the fluff gets everywhere! I was plastered in white fluff... and I think DD throwing it around didn't help much...
I made another one last night, will upload some photos later... Have some hiking socks here that I'm going to try and sock bunny tonight...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls...
