Sock Monkey!



I made this little fella starting Monday night. I went to Rivers and got some of those $2 socks, as it happens that I don't actually own many socks, and they were $2. No hugley colourful, but whimsome all the same, methinks.

I bought three pairs, but made a huge mistake with the first pair, pretty much as soon as I began cutting, so they are absorbing smells in the garbage bin (socks are really good at that).

This is the first, I'll make another for Asta's little boys (4 1/2 & 6 1/2) and try and find a girly pair so I can make Amalia one as well. Maybe the new little one too, but she's getting a felt mobile, so may not have enough creativity left before Christmas work begins. Am taking a break from the knitting, at least for a while (a month maybe) as I realised on Tuesday, that my hands were aching and my fingertips tingly. That could be something else, who knows.



Mm, hungry. I never did get that hokey-pokey icecream I've been craving since last week. Might take a wander...
