pennib - that dog is so sweet. Craft fair on sunday, thanks for asking. Think i have got enough now as not sure how busy it will be (my mum does loads and barely makes her money back from paying for it!!)

jcr16 - i have made a sock dinosaur. here is the link to my blog with a sort of tutorial funnily enough i was asked for one of the george dinosaurs but couldnt find the right colour green sock. http://nuttybabescrafts.blogspot.com/2010/08/evening-all-welcome-back.html

well, the craft fair did not go well. No one turned up so we just all sat in a empty room!!! Have lots to take down for mum to sell at her craft fairs now though!!!!

Anyway, i have made a sock shrek and a sock dragon (from shrek).

What a bummer Nuttybabe....was it widely advertised? Good job you can put them on your mums stall tho.
Your Shrek is great. Love him and his buddy the dragon. Did you make the pattern up yourself?

nuttybabe

i think it was advertised but there was a huge wedding fayre, a car show and a huge car boot in other parts of the town!

thanks. I just had a picture of shrek and tried to make him the same with no pattern, that was my 3rd attempt at the clothes, i just couldnt get the shape right. and i lost the pattern i used for the last dragon i did so just tried to make her out of memory. lol

nuttybabe

I love shrek!!

Here is a monkey I made a couple of weeks ago


And, I found some very bright neon socks (2 pairs for a £1) that are not the type that lose their colour when you stretch them. Cant wait to make them up into monkeys.
