First Sock Monkey

[1sockmonkey]

Hello

I know I'm being silly but had to post that I made my first Sock Monkey today.

It's pink with hearts on it and doesn't look too bad

Very good . Do you have a how-to link that worked for you (am inspired to have a go)?

Hi Sue

I used this link (which I found on here)
www.web-goddess.org/writing/tutorial/Image0.html

Hope it posts ok

Have saved it to favourites. I need some socks, will buy an extra pair Thanks!

I made my first Sock monkey yesterday, then I thought he looked lonely so I made him a friend :-)

How, how, how did you make the giraffe? DD would actually explode for a pink girafe.

It's made in a similar way to the giraffe. I might post some basic instructions later this week.

I meant of course, in a similar way to the monkey

Tiz - Please post the instructions. I would love to make a giraffe.

Well my DS1 who is 3 has taken Monkey to bed with him (Im hoping an arm doesnt drop off during the night)

My sis now wants one as well as her mate. Think Im going to need more socks (and buttons as had to nick them off one of DH shirts ssshhh dont tell him)

Mine are going to be a present for my niece, and like you, i'm a bit concerned about the strength of my sewing!

I've not decided how I'll do the eyes yet, I'm not sure I want to go down the button route as niece has a tendency to chew on things.

I have just made my first sock monkey too - and he is so ugly I would love hime to disappear in the night but the two DSs keep fighting over him. (3 yrs &18 mths) So at least I know my sewing is strong enough

Seriously though, I am going to make them one each each for Christmas then this one will be going out the door!

I love those, I'm so going to make some!! Just need to find some socks

I've not yet done the giraffe instructions - need to make another one so I can take photos as I go along.

I have written a Sock Elephant Tutorial however.

Finally got round to making another sock giraffe. I think they're definitely my favourite sock animal so far. I've written a little tutorial if you want to try and make your own.

Would love to see the results if you do.
