Finished him. Reinforced some of his seams with the new strong cotton (thanks mum). Yuki provided the buttons – a real team effort – although he is obviously all my own work. Still got 4 more pairs of socks as well – so maybe he’ll get some friends.
Anybody got any good ideas for a name – Shandy maybe?

This is my first sewing project since junior school – say 20 years ago – and I was rubbish at sewing then as well. Anyhow – he is partially complete – he is missing ears and eyes and some of the seeming is absolutely shameful.
I think I have some helpful beginners hints – I used really fine thread and a needle that I had purloined from a hotel at some point this is not the ideal thing to use. For my next one I am going to fine a bigger needle and some thicker cotton. I still need some buttons. I think there is a sewing shop in Muswell Hill…

- now I just need some time and some motivation.
I am not sure but my friends might be getting monkeys as presents at Chrimbo.

... to source the socks in the UK the site given in the recipe seems to only deliver to the US.
Anybody got any good sock monkey sources in Britain?
