My Craft Hope sock monkeys are done and outta here. I'm so glad. Really. After trying and picking out four different kinds of eyes, all of which made them look creepish, I was certainly done. BUT -- I finally found a way to make cute eyes.
I love how they turned out, and I hope they will make some little people very happy!

He's my FAVORITE. He's the last one I did, so I was much better at it by then. But I absolutely love the socks I used -- they're so... MONKEY.
He's just so friendly!
Preppy girl is my favorite of the two girl monkeys, for sure. It's those SOCKS!
And that little cheerleader-y skirt!!
Jammies girl is fun too, though!
And of course I had to make things difficult for myself and make a socktopus, too! (Oh, stuffing those ridiculously long, skinny tentacles...) I LOVE his stripeyness!
Oops -- didn't get a picture of him with his mouth. Embroidered blue, and just like the monkeys. I hope his stripes don't make him creepy and spidery......?
Of course I had to whip up a bunch of blankies, too! And of course I overdid it and ended up with five beyond the ones for my monkeys! I am sure there are some other little monkeys who could use a blanky, though..... Right?

I LOVE that preppy girl one. Amazing! Well done. :)
Your monkeys are so cute! I love their outfits.
So cute! These take sock monkeys to a whole other level! I love the girls!
How do you make the socktopus? My older son love stuffed octopus toys at the store but they are too expensive only to have a leg ripped off in a matter of days!
mrandmrsdey, there is a great little video at http://design.hgtv.com/videos/sock-monkey-friend-socktopus/11535.html -- i could try and explain, but this video probably would do a better job of it!
Oh my gosh - those are ADORABLE!!!
