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

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 Confused 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 Blush

That's a very well endowed monkey Wink

MoTeaVate · 23/12/2011 19:49

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

At least he looks (ahem) happy. Xmas Grin

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

Oh dear lord :o

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

browneyesblue · 23/12/2011 19:50

It's lovely

MudAndGlitter · 23/12/2011 19:50

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

MoTeaVate · 23/12/2011 19:50

Can you amputate his head and reattach?

charitygirl · 23/12/2011 19:51

Oh this makes me very happy. Sorry OP.

chipmunksex · 23/12/2011 19:51

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 Grin

SanTEEClaus · 23/12/2011 19:51

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

::falls over laughing:::

Sausageandmash · 23/12/2011 19:52

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

KD0706 · 23/12/2011 19:53

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)

lisad123 · 23/12/2011 19:53

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

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 Grin

KD0706 · 23/12/2011 19:55

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

BertieBotts · 23/12/2011 19:55

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...??" Xmas Grin

KalSkirata · 23/12/2011 19:56

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

natashakaplinkyplop · 23/12/2011 19:56

Oh dear :o

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

BalloonSlayer · 23/12/2011 19:59

God that's made my day!

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

Wheeze

Saddough · 23/12/2011 20:01

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

ChestnutsREASTIEingOnTheFire · 23/12/2011 20:01

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

ReduceRecycleRegift · 23/12/2011 20:04

bluebump · 23/12/2011 20:04
