I have to be honest, I've only read a little of this thread, but as I love sewing (I'm on the sewing room thread a lot) and especially using socks, well, I know it's not a monkey, but I made this little piggy:

thats brilliant. i might have to buy that book!!!

here is my latest. a sock dinosaur for ds2's 3rd birthday.

Oh gosh he's brilliant.....did you make the pattern yourself? Your little boy is
going to love him. What is his teeth made of? You have to give him a name!

nuttybabe

thanks. yes i did make the pattern myself and no i did not keep a copy, i just drew it out on the sock! think i should start making notes!! :P his teeth are little triangles of felt. will let ds2 choose his name unless i can think of a good one for him. any suggestions???

Loving the teeth - very scary!
