With the help of my grand-daughter, we made our very first sock monkey. The right socks were a bit tricky to find in any stores, so I ordered mine from fabric.com. It was fun to make and my grand-daughter just loves him.

I have a friend who makes one for every grandchild in our family since she doesn't have g'kids of her own. YET!

Those pics are sooo cute. She has him train very well and so quickly.
I was lucky enough to find about a dozen pr of socks, the directions and even the stuffing at a yard sale for $2.00. That's less than one pr of socks cost. I finished the one they had started, it wasn't made correctly. My college age son confiscated that one. The next one I made for my grandson before he was born. I showed him to my husband's cousins and they were coming up with all kinds of clothes I should make for him. And I should make a girl to go with him. Yea, I'll put that on the list.

Oh, so cute, your granddaughter has a good sense of humor.
Reminds me that I used to make sock dolls years ago, long white socks without any elastic for a 12" or so doll and anklet socks for a little sitting doll. The little doll was named Sleepy Suzie, no name on pattern for larger doll but I named it Mary after my first granddaughter. I made the first for her when Mary was a few months old, can't believe next month she'll be 29. May in Jersey
