Sock Monkey
I knitted a sock monkey for my college-aged daughter because she said she wanted one. I actually enjoyed knitting this one over the crocheted amigurumi turtle and tiger that I did previously. I added a little snazzy cap in her school colors and also added their logo. I wasn't too pleased with the logo. I used a satin stitch using the yarn and close up, it looks sloppy. I previously tried using a cross stitch or chainstitch but that didn't work out as well. Boy, the things you remember from grade school. I was taught by Belgian nuns and we had an embroidery class. I'm sure I was probably in 4th grade when I learned all these different stitches. Too bad I don't have any keepsakes showing my needlework from that time.
