Was funny wasnt it.

Ive been asked for 4 more sock monkeys now for my 3 grandsons and grandaughter. I saw on ebay some with clothes on and liked the baby one, might try to do that for the gd and camolage ones for the boys as they are all army mad.

My daughter would love one of these but I have tried twice to make one and am soooo bad at sewing!



Love everybody's photos though - very well done!

I found this thread by accident, and thought I'd have a go - this is the result. We decided to call him Neville (no idea why, he just looks like a Neville!) and he has been monkeynapped by my baby daughter. He's made of 2 odd baby socks I had laying about. Not happy with his eyes, but they're safe for the baby

I made this soctopus hat for my ds'1s silly hat sponsered walk today.




It took ages as I did it all by hand. I was up untill 1 am last night getting it finished only for them to call it off because of the weather.

Its now next week instead :mad: :rotfl:

Its made from 2 pairs of poundland socks lol

I like the idea of making an alien type toy so have saved it until I get some more appropriate socks


I did get three pairs of boys socks for £1 from Primark,they are good colours,I'm gonna give making smaller ones a go with these

I made a nice black and white stripey monkey with some socks I already had but I got a bit above meself and made it without looking at the instructions.I stupidly started at the wrong end (stitched down to the cuff instead of the toe for the legs) so his legs are much shorter than they should be and I had to sew the top of his head together but my DS loves this one too although the rest of my family think he looks more like a cow than a monkey.lol

Another monkey. he still needs ears yet but was taking pics of my hampers and thought I'd stick him in while I am at it.

Got a blue stripey one on the go and then my ds1 want me to try a dog:eek:

He looks great - when I first saw the colours I thought of Liquorice Allsorts!!! I like the heart shaped buttons.
