My first sock monkey! Sort of. Not having easy access to shopping (or selection) you have to get creative with gifts around here. The son of some co-workers turned 1 yesterday and I hummed and hawed as to what to give him, finally deciding on the one thing every kid needs to grow up with - a sock monkey. I didn't have a pattern, and my only wool socks were a pair I always keep on hand to remind me of home...so unfortunately Levi only got a monkey head for his birthday. Thankfully, being only 1 he won't realize how weird that is for several more years.
