Smaller socks = smaller monkeys. These cotton guys are pure trouble, though one sports milagros and piggies fenced in. His buddy has a crewel wool yarn hat, or maybe it's hair escaping from the hat! They're wacky but lovable and available for best offer. You know where to find me.

Critter of the Day

Lamb or monkey or aberrant? I'm not sure. These socks did not work out as well as I envisioned so I just kept working away at this critter. S/he's definitely different and took a loooong time to make, yet s/he was totally enjoyable to work on. After putting the piggy trim around the middle, it seemed like milagros would work well as a neck piece to complement the trim. The hat was whimsy and now I am taking a break before deciding whether or not a tail is needed and what type it should be - puffy little thing or long and twisty. After seeing Fantastic Mr. Fox, I am taken with a real fluffy one.
