Sock monkeys!

3tabbycats

Debralee - they look fab, I think I'll save the instructions & have a go once I've mastered the monkeys!

Here's my first attempt...I've named him Monty! I think I need to sort him out with a hat & a jumper to brighten him up abit!

Just thought I'd show you all my latest sock monkey! Have discovered that the smaller socks (2 1/2 year old) are so much easier and quicker to make and they make great car monkey toys by adding suction cups to the hands.

I made this one as a gift for a friend to congradulate her on passing her driving test. He was an instant hit :T and has now been named Jeremiah.

I love this guy and have been inspired to make loads more, but I would like to give a couple with the little sucker things on the arms but i don't know where to get them. any ideas?
Thanks
Sam

Here's a monkey I made for another MSE'er, I don't think she will mind me putting a pic on here now that she has received him:D

Stardrops - He is fabulous!! I like the little hat & scarf and the ears are a bit different to how mine turned out, I think I'll try to make them like yours next time. I'm on number 3 at the mo, I changed the eyes & mouth on the first one after I did the second one slightly differently..

Think I've gone a bit overboard on socks... I've just counted 16 pairs all waiting to be made into monkeys!!:D
