I'm learning to knit at the moment - and for the longest time I could ony manage squares (or rectangles) - nothing that required shaping of any kind. The little guys/girls below are the product of this period (all made as presents for different people) and were made from a basic pattern which I modified a bit
First we have Eco-Monkey - made for my dad who has a huge passion for environmental issues and is a bit of an all-round hippy
His ears are supposed to look like leaves :
Next is Music Monkey, made for someone who teaches piano (he has music notes sewn all over and a mini piano stitched onto his behind)!
Then Chic-y Monkey, made for a fan of the Shabby Chic style:
Money-Love made for a tennis fan:
And lastly - Monk Tee, made for a golfer - Monk Tee comes with a little pocket on his back to carry around golf tees, and his own miniature golf clubs (for playing minature golf of course) :
Thanks for looking - there are a few others out there but these are the ones I have pictures of
Now I need to progress to making things that don't just involve knitting squares
button to nominate it!
