    Wow, I cannot believe that you made that many! Since blue is my favorite color, this is the one I like the best .... although the yellow are super also! I started on two of these but I had trouble with the tail. Must have cut it too narrow and could not get it to look right. I also have another pair of socks but not sure if I will finish any of them. Guess I should push myself to work on them because yours are so darn cute!!! I too did not know those socks came in colors. Wonderful! Thanks for the encouragement by showing those photos.

    I like the red and blue. Maybe I should try a few for the grandkids.

    I'd be happy with any of the colors, but the blue and yellow are my favorites. Yours look like perfection.

    What a great job you did on all those sock monkeys! They are all fabulous but I think my favorites is still the original brownish/gray color.

    They are cute. My Mom made some ages ago - in the brown - so the brown is my favorite.

    The monkey party is over. I made two for gifts, one for me, and I planned to put five of them in my local quilt show boutique to raise money for my guild. I made the "mistake" of posting a picture on Facebook to show my friends the cute monkeys. I did not intend to sell them there... A few hours later, after much fighting among friends, the monkeys were all sold with two disappointed buyers.

    If you are looking for something that sells well, give a monkey a chance!

    When my GD Ella was in kindergarten she lives in Savannah and I live in NJ on one of my Savannah visits I brought down 16 pairs of socks...and made 15 monkeys for her class and one boy was a twin so I made one for the other twin in the other class...so off to school I went with my shopping bag with these monkeys all hanging out and I read the children a book I think it was Caps on Top about a sock monkey.....memories were made for her and me....that day...

    Adorable! And I can imagine how they'd NOT be quick to make. My favorite is the yellow.
