These little monkeys were knitted by my daughter, using the directions in Itty-Bitty Toys by Susan B. Anderson. The first monkey, who we'll call 'George', was commissioned by a friend of mine who is expecting her first grandchild, a little boy, to be born any day now. She and her daughter had seen my daughter's other toys (you can see some of them here), and they wanted one, leaving the choice of animal up to my daughter.

"Harry" |
There are plans for a third monkey, but knitting those skinny arms and legs in the round got tedious, so my daughter had to take a little break before further monkey business.
Don't you just love the little topknots?
"Ah, this is the life!" |
::squeals:: George and Harry are adorable! :D
ReplyDeleteThose are very cute monkeys!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those are too cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are darling...monkey business indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous monkeys! Your daughter is so clever! Love her other toys too in the post you link to - that giraffe! I find knitting a lot more challenging than other crafts and the idea of tackling trying to make things this complicated makes me nervous to say the least so I always have extra admiration for those, like your daughter, who can negotiate such patterns so beautifully. All power to her needles! E x
ReplyDeleteso cute..she does such great work...now why is it that you got a daughter who would create with you and mine never has the time...and never did? LOL
ReplyDeleteI love these...too cute
They're both so cute but I'm particularly partial to George and his pose in the last photo. Made me smile! x
ReplyDeleteImpressive! Way to go, Emma!
