Monkey around

Monkey around, originally uploaded by Missy Cookie Monster.

Today's project - another sock monkey, for a friend's friend's Christmas present (maybe she'll claim my glory and say she created it herself).

I used some new stuffing, and it was so gorgeously soft I wanted to use it as a pillow.

Minor error in the way the pattern worked on the sock - needing to have the toe as the head meant the monkeys are upside-down, but never mind. He's still a good sock monkey.

And yes, I know he doesn't have eyes yet - although the bananas do look good - but my friend has to choose the buttons yet.
