3 of 5 Sock Monkeys ~ Dr. Zira, Monkey King, and Boop
June 22nd, 2007 by Tamara
I love summer! It is so much easier to get good lighting outside. 
Here are my 3 latest sock monkeys.
First up - Dr. Zira from Planet of the Apes. Her ‘do’ was a challenge, but with the right yarn it came out nice.
Then came a character I’d never heard of - Sun Wukong or Son Goku or the Monkey King depending on your language. This was my first time using fur (I had hand-knit fur before for Chewy), I was very pleasently surprised with how well it worked.
Lastly, is a sock monkey similar to one I’ve already made. Here is Betty Boop! Really, I don’t think she is a monkey… more of a sock doll.
I LOVE your sock monkeys !! You are very talented, I have to say. I am already looking for birthday and Christmas gifts for certain people in my family that are extremely difficult to shop for–then I came across this Betty Boop sock monkey. My sister collects all things Betty Boop–has since she was a child. Something like this would be perfect for her. Is there any way I can get some info about your custom orders? Thanks so much and , again, your work is wonderful !!
