I was making a sock monkey and it went wrong, so so wrong...

[tabulahrasa]

I'm not an arty crafty person, so I expected it to be a bit wrong, but this takes it to a whole other level of wrongness.

It's for my 10 yr old nephew's Christmas I thought I'd finished it last night (bar the eyes), until I picked it up and looked at it.

Like I said, I'm not good at this stuff, but my nephew had asked me to make it after I'd made one at a class, for his birthday in September - I didn't have time and bless him he never even asked what had happened to it, so I thought, I'll do it for Christmas.

So, um, behold... The worst sock monkey ever

That's a very well endowed monkey

Is that it's tail, or something else ?!

At least he looks (ahem) happy.

It was a tail - till I sewed his face on backwards

Oh dear lord :o

I'm sure there's a market for that kind of thing...

It's lovely

That's made my night. It's like stuffed toy porn.

Can you amputate his head and reattach?

Oh this makes me very happy. Sorry OP.

Tee hee

He looks great actually-you just need to switch his head round, or his tail it's a bit hard to tell-so he has a lovely tail instead of a massive willy

It's, um, well.....

::falls over laughing:::

As you said, a whole new level of wrongness. But it is the thought that counts.

Thank you tabulah you have given me a fabulous laugh.

Other than the fact his tail is on backwards though he is a very good monkey I think. Is it salvageable? Could you do a John Wayne bobbit on him and then reattach his tail at the back. (I am soooo not crafty so maybe that's a really daft suggestion)

That is wonderful. Think it might a adult only monkey!

I'm fairly sure I can fix it, but it's made me laugh so much that I need to share it...I couldn't even be upset properly at having stuffed it up because it was just such a ridiculous result.

My friend has christened it the cock monkey, rofl

That is a really good monkey

Yes you definitely needed to share that with us. Thanks.

Keep the photo, and you can send it to him in a Christmas card in about 8 years time. "Nephew, dearest, remember that sock monkey I made for you a few years ago...??"

I have actually laughed aloud and snorted wine out of my nose

Oh dear :o

I've got 3 of them to make next week.
If I do that, then it's all your fault! :o

God that's made my day!

I almost never actually LOL and have tears in my eyes over the internet.

Wheeze

Now that is what I will think of next time someone accuses another poster of being a sock puppet

OP I'm sorry but I'm actually laughing out loud

it's fantastic by far the best sock monkey I've ever seen!

Haha that's brilliant!
