well done chalky. Thats a great collection and i know what you mean about not wanting to part with them. i have 4 favourites that i made a few months ago and keep hiding them when anyone visits so they don't ask for them. Lol0

WOW .. those are lovely
can anyone tell me if its simple enough to make by hand? .. I dont have a sewing machine and im not brilliant with a needle and thread but i would love to give these a go
any hints and tips would be brill for a non sewin machine owning personHoping to be a thinner me in 2010!0 -
Stardrops they are fantastic. I,ve only had 1 attempt at a sock monkey & it was ok but nothing great so it put me off making them. I'm going to give it another go though, got a nice pair of fluffy socks which will hopefully not show the stitching as much which was what made mine look so bad last time (well that & im no good at sewing lol)

I could have wrote this post, my first and only sock monkey, i havent even finished as when i sewed the tail on, it looks awful, i was fine when using the sewing machine for the first parts, but when i had to hand sew, :eek:
Think i might be brave and give it ago with fluffy socks. Great idea.0 -
