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

Rofl, he's got no eyes because once I realised what I'd done I didn't sew them on...

I can't keep him :(

My sister thought he was hilarious too and we decided to show DN him and I'd tell him him I'd make a new one for him - he smiled at it, looked at us giggling away in that are you insane? Way that only children can manage... And said, can you not fix it?

I felt bad for him, so I said yes.

Though actually thinking about it, I might just lie and say it didn't work (blush)

You could make quite a little business, selling mutant and obscene soft toys to bored women on the internet.

It could be quite challenging writing a business plan when you went to the bank manager for a loan, though.....

That is the best monkey ever!

Chenille is much softer than wool. Never saw a non grey work sock one before.

Move the tail and sew some trousers on him?

Hilarious - bless you Tab.
Didn't think I could laugh any more after this - until I ready Sparkles 'hairy holly cocks' story. Did the teacher not realise??!!

Oh how I laughed, thank you. You clearly have very special skills.

Linked from the funniest moment thread and I think the funniest post ever

This has got to be one of the funniest threads I've read on MN (and this is second time round as I remember reading it when it started....did Tabula's DN ever get his 'unique' gift?)

Loving the cock monkey!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
