monkey

For Timmy Jon,

I'm so glad you like him.
And little monkey, I hope you love your new home and new best friend, Stoffen.






This little monkey was one of my favorite projects and was fairly easy to work up. I found the pattern from the book, Softies Only a Mother Could Love, edited by Jes Redman and Meg Leder (click on the link to see the book) but then I added a tail (monkeys have to have tails) and knitted the scarf. How else is Monkey going to stay warm in Logan?

I love you little monkey and I will miss you keeping me company.

  1. Good job Katie. I bet that tail was a pain in the butt to sew. I love him. He looks like he should be friends with Tiny Tim.

  2. I'm pretty sure you could make a killing on making monkeys and selling them in baby stores. seriously that is the cutest thing ever. So I was thinking about making a cute cake for Bry's birthday. baby themed. Say like "the moon" or a giraffe. Wanna help? haha. We could take pics and stuff :)

    Hearts, butterflies, rainbows, and my favorite...birds,

  4. Katie - I'm seriously impressed with your mad skilz. Could we commission you to make two of these for us? As in, a paid job.
