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

Could you not just stitch the eyes to the back of his head and call him Quasimodo Monkey?

Spank the Monkey

hehe oh I love your style DillyTinsel the monkey must be named Spank

Another vote here for Spank the Monkey

pmsl

Lol at spank, he's still intact, I've not had time and ironically I've done a really good job of stitching his face on.

Hmm, you could always just say he's meant to be like that and call him Jake the Peg Monkey. Maybe you could fashion some little shoes for his three 'feet' so as to enhance the illusion?

This has made my morning. He is very well endowed! I'll have him ;).

Ha ha ha.

Gosh it's HUGE

hahahahaha yes put it on eBay. Brilliant. :o

This is amazing! I was just considering making some tiny sock monkeys out of DSs baby socks for nieces - I'm definitely going to make a cock monkey for their parents too!

hahahahaha OP .

Please can I have the pattern?

So good I've added it to the MN Pinterest board

He's even got pubes!!!!

I have just come across this via the roundup email and laughed till I cried when I saw the picture. Thank you for cheering me up on this grey and glum day.

Oh.My.Actual.God.

I think you have just won the MN Village Show handicrafts section.

You've made my day, anyway. ROFL

I missed this first time round. Hilarious

Beautiful!

That is brilliant and cheered me up on this miserable day at home with a chest infection. The laughing has not helped the cough though - but it was worth it! :o

So what did DN get in the end? :)

Love this! I also found via the round up email and laughed so much I woke my 6wo ds! Not sure he appreciated it as much as I did.... :)

DH has suggested an alternative name... King Dong.

I love the lack of eyes. Evidently generations of nuns were right, playing with yourself WILL make you go blind.
