    Im trying to post my first attempt through photobucket but it says as im a new user im not allowed does anyone know how to do this?

    What Id like to know is how do you get the arms thicker and more plush looking, do people use more then one pair of socks? also is there a specific type of stuffing that dosnt go all lumpy?, or is it all to do with how you stuff it?

    looking forward to working out how to show you!:confused:

    Irishgirl, your monkey is fab :) I was looking at those socks in B&M and couldn't decide whether they'd look nice or not, I like the stripy ones, but now I can see they're lovely :)
