That's fab stardrops, well done!
Can I ask where you got those socks from? Those colours would be right up my friend's street.
Just realised I started three last week but still need stuffing, ooooops!0 -
Thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated
Natbag - I got the socks from Tesco, they came in a pack of 3 for £3. The other 2 pair are plain blue/plain pink with cows on (see hat on monkey) I don't know if the the other 2 pair are any good for monkeys but I used one pair for accessories for the monkey and wore the other pair!Feb GC £80 per week (Well I'm gunna try:whistle:)

Hi Rusty!
Just posted a bit about this on the crafty for christmas thread but thought I would pop a bit on here too. I have made sock monkeys with knee high socks and they do end up with long arms, legs and tail.
I find the mouth the trickiest bit as well and often it goes on wonky, which i claim just makes it more quirky!
I would take a piccie of the one I made my boyfriend as he was made with knee high socks as well but sadly he was popped into hibernation and placed gently in his box ready for the house move!
However if you are still lost I'm visiting my folks in a couple days and I know the sock monkey I made my brother is there and he too was made with knee high socks so I could show you him if you wanted.
In the meantime here is a picture of the last one I made:
this is so cute. this is exactly what i'd like to make.0 -

Maybe donate them to a primary school's christmas bazaar.. if school's still have such things (i hope so)
Or make up some boxes for operation christmas child?0 -
Your monkeys all look better than mine, mine seem to have nobbly legs etc, doesnt matter how i stuff them they still seem to go nobbly. The kids like them though.0

Here's my first eve sock monkey. I used boys socks size 4-6 1/2 and they seem longer in the foot area than the ankle, so the monkey has an extremely long torso.
Also when I turned the sock inside out, it was just so full of threads that I couldn't actually see anywhere to draw the guide lines, so I just had to guess.
I really enjoyed making it but didn't enjoy stuffing the arms, legs and tail!
I had to get a tutorial up on youtube on how to to thread my sewing machine though as I bought it form the car boot sale about 10 years ago and never used it!
This one is for football mad DS1 and I've got to do another one for DS2 for Xmas.
He does look a bit grumpy doesn't he?0
