I finally finished my first present last night. He's a little sock monkey for my boyfriend, I hope he likes him! I foolishly used toe socks instead of real socks so I made some extra work for myself, but at least I could use a couple of the toes for the ears and another for the tail! I'm actually feeling quite proud now!

I'm not sure how to add photos here, but this is the link to him on the site I got the instructions from, thanks to someone earlier on in this thread!

That sock monkey is soooo cute! I will need to read back on the thread for the instructions - That would be great for my partner - we have a standing joke in my house about socks and lack of pairs - It would be a lovely addition to his Christmas stocking! Might even make tham for the kids if they are not too hard!

Thanks Judi! I'm on to my second now, well first with a proper pair of socks and the sewing machine, much easier!!

The instructions I used are http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Valentines-Day-sock-monkey/ but they look the same yummy-mummy-amy's post! Good luck, let us see them when you're done!
