# Found a thing the Grauniad on Saturday on how to make a monkey out of a pair of socks

Here's my effort, amusing himself with a monkey glove-puppet

# I've just been searching for it, but I think it was print-only
I'm going to make a couple more this week though, so I'll take pictures

# It looks as though you have to have special socks that already look monkey-ish.
Bah.

# Not really
though stripes help - I just picked up a pair of cheap fuzzy ones (and ended up covered in cheap fuzz in the process) but I'm going to try and find weird patterned socks to try and make different kinds

[edit] actually fluffy ones were a pain to sew, and one of the best results I've seen just used socks with different coloured heels and toes, which is quite effective

# Why don't I have awesome fluffy socks?
Just cos I'm a guy I still have the right to ridiculous socks.
*grumps*
*And have a Wooyay!

# Not for me :(
In place of ridiculous socks I get novelty items from my mum (eg. wind-up chattering teeth and squeezy goo-balls)

# 99p you say?
This is MADNESS!!! But I can't buy them for myself...I'd just look silly then.

# Ace!
I've been on here too long though. The position of his right arm made it look a little bit like you'd given him man-bits.
