  • Love the moo one pennib, so cute :j.
  • Moo Monkey's so cute!

    Meet Spots! My first sock monkey! I'm quite proud! As soon as he was finished I was already thinking about the next one :rotfl: I need socks which aren't just random odds from my drawer though. He's a bit wonky (note the ears haha!) and needed a bit more stuffing in the body. But otherwise, I like him :)

    Ahhh way to go! He's a cutie. You keeping him for yourself or is he a present? Yep its very addictive, there is going to be a looong queue in the socks dept. I think there is going to be a world wide shortage of socks soon haha

    Oh and as for stuffing the flat end of a pencil is a good tool to use

    have been reading throough and decided to give it a go - they are soooooo cute! have made two by hand tonight - 1 out of old socks just to get an idea for it and then sent o/h to MrT's for a pack of socks - came back with white sports socks - doooooh! , does anybody have any ideas what i could stuff them with to make door stops or to make them into microwave warmers for my nephews pram in the winter.
    thanks
