Monkey business

This photo taken by Ruth Jackson. Thanks!

This is the first toy I've made for ages and I really enjoyed making it. It's almost like I'd forgotten how satisfying it is make something not knowing exactly how it will turn out. I made it for Baxter who, along with his parents, was a delightful house guest for a few days.

If you'd like to make a monkey of your own this is the pattern I use.

Happy New Year

I've been looking for a photo for this post and today I found it - thanks to a crafty neighbour!

All the best to you for 2011.
