Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

BECAUSE HE WAS DEAD!



haha. That is my favorite joke....ever. One of my brothers made it up. I laugh every time I tell it. I know, I'm a nerd.

Anyways, speaking of monkeys, I made a sock monkey puppet.



Isn't he cute? I am so happy. What really frustrated me was when I finished at like 10, I only had one googly eye. So I had to wait till the morning to go buy Michaels and get some more googly eyes. Poor monkey.



I am really glad I found this pattern. Before my nephew was born almost 2 years ago, I wanted to make a sock monkey, but couldn't find any free patterns. I did see there was a book out there, but I couldn't find it in stores, and I didn't want to just order a little book on the net. I think I ended up making a little blanket and hat I found in "Happy Hooker". Haha, and the brother that made up the monkey joke is the one with the kid that I made the blanket for. How cute. So yeah. I like free patterns. Especially ones as cute as this one!
