    Got some fab over the knee socks, black with a rainbow of stripes, at the £1 shop today so who knows I might get round to making a monkey soon.

    I think over the knee socks will make monkeys with very long legs and arms, could be cute!

    Incidently, I stuffed my monkey with pillow stuffing from OH pillow... Don't tell him... I sewed it back up after ;)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Aww he's a cutey one!

    I got some fluffy socks today to try... Was worried before but now I know you sew it before cutting, not so worried about fraying...

    aww i'm so in love with these. Had so many things going on in the last week I haven't got round to it. think i'm going to need to buy some socks for them though. I don't have any suitable.
    Can you make these from childrens socks or would they just be toooooo fiddly?
    Thanks
    Hugs

    Helen, they're not too fiddly using adults size socks but I was thinking about trying to knock one up out of DD socks, it would be tiny and cute! Will let you know if I get round to it... In the middle of making a table plan and 9 more orders of service at the minute...
