Monkey - of the sock variety

There will be a bunch o blogs coming in short sucession to catch up my blogging with my crafting

Is it just me, or is the sock monkey not well known in Australia? It seems to be an American craft staple, yet I hadnt ever heard of one until recently! Of course, once I found them, I made one immediately:


My first ever sock monkey: Winston. I particularly like that there was a hole in the toe of the sock, so his forehead has been stictched up making him a bit Frankenstein :)
