Here is the terrible twins, Onslow and Oswald! They have decided to wear their knitted jumpers as it's getting so cold!

They are brilliant hehe, I would love to have them on my mantle

They are looking for a new home!

If I didn't feel so guilty spending money on myself I would give them a home

My husband and I are making sock monkeys for all our family this Christmas and I'm wondering how to present them. I think I will put a ribbon and tag round their necks with their name maybe a small history etc. Any pics or ideas of how you present / wrap your monkeys?

I wrapped mine in tissue paper with twine. Used twine to hold a tag and small 'Handmade with Love' Heart Charms - Nickle. See if I can get a pic at some point. I was going to put them in shoe boxes but I didn't have enough

I love all the new sock monkeys and other sock creatures;) Not been on here for ages and not made a sock monkey for ages until this week I made this one for a colleague.

6 out of 11 done! The blue and grey one has one big ear because he is for my brother who has one big ear! Any name suggestions guys??

Aww, I love the little stripey one!

I had my first attempt at one this morning - how else to spend a day's holiday?! Decided to do a cat instead of monkey. Arms seem to have ended up a lot thinner than legs!

Your cat looks great! I've pretty much given up trying to get everything equal with the stuffing More unique that way
