Sock Monkey Hat Challenge...*evil grin*

[Tracey4610]

Shelleden: I was inspired by our posts in the accessories show-and-tell [see variations on a hat]...I'm offering up a challenge...let's see who can come up with the most variations on your sock monkey hat by Christmas Eve (this can even include the ones we've already made). Are you up for it? :devil :heehee Anyone else wanna take me up on this challenge?

Ahh!! Too cute! I love the sock monkey hats and blanket from SnB Crochet and have added them to my very long long list of things to do when I get more experienced with crochet. ;)

Good luck to all!

Shelle, is the sock monkey slipper pattern on your website? I couldn't find it, and I need to find it!! Please, can someone point me, and my feet, in the right direction. :think

Oops, I found it and bought it!! Can't wait.

[Shelleden]

Thanks - just sent it to ya~! There are "buttons" at the top of my website main page, and you can click on them and it takes you to other pages. I guess you figured that out already. Hope you'll post pics when you get them made. ;)

[Tracey4610]

Okay, Shelleden! I see your slippers, I raise you a matching scarf! It's just like getting a hug from a giant sock monkey!:monkey :2hug:monkey

I really like it here! :ha
Reminds me of a song,:2rock kinda goes like this:
"I hear the voices in my head I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring...:sleep "

[Rosemary]

I love the baby-earflap version of the monkey hat! So cool, though the child looks a little dozy.
Do not all go to your padded cells at once, please. We need posts here each day.

[nss]

;) Thankfully, you're allowed your yarn and hooks in lockup,Schelle
:hook Earflaps,,,of course:yay
:tup Way smaller,too,,,,right:? :?
:c9 Adorable,,,:2rock :drool

:clap Tracy,:yes Abominable Albino Snow Monkey and his other family members are to clever!!

You know, I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with that baby - it hasn't woken up (is that a word - woken? lol) since I got her! She sleeps 24/7. Come to think of it, she doesn't eat, drink, or poop either. Maybe I should take her to a dollyatrician?:devil

Well, of course we're only allowed to use paper crochet hooks. They're like plastic crochet hooks, but flimsy-er. Safest kind. And we're only allowed 6" peices of yarn - they're afraid we might get tangled up in it. :lol
Actually, the hat is the same size as the child size in the pattern. I just added the ear flaps. I think I used a smaller hook, too (G). Kendal is only 1 yr. old so her head is a little smaller than older children. And that doll model is about the size of a 3 mo. old baby. I'll post a pic of Kendal wearing it when I give it to her this weekend.
Thanks for the compliment!

[Rosemary]

Shelle, your little model for the ear-flap hat, certainly does need to be checked out. All she does is sit all day with her eyes closed with a soother stuck in her mouth. I haven't seen her move once, and I have been staring at the photos for hours. Please take her for some help soon! I can't crochet at all because of the anxiety I am feeling over this little one. :confused

Oh my gosh, that's funny. I've got to make me one of those. Meanwhile, here's my addition to the challenge: Sock Monkey Key Chain
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/Shelleden/sockmonkeykeychain.jpg I made it with some samples of yarn an E-bay seller sent me (you know, those tiny "skeins"). Had just enough to barely complete it. His eyes are seed beads. He's waving at you. His name is George (of the jungle). :hook

[Shelleden]

ok rofl here is mine lol

You have once again confirmed that we are conjoined twins separated by mileage! I have a sock monkey on MY key chain! No way! Way!

Carol would be so proud.

[R3n331]

uuuuuuuuum no rofl

[Shelleden]

OH!! I see! Duh - I'm just the water-girl......... http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15_1_61.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm415DHUS) Well, no, I don't have a pattern - I just made it up as I went. You can make it similar to the monkey hat (except much smaller, and tube-like), stuff lightly, then add legs & arms made by chaining about 11 & making 10 sc, then sew them on. The tail is just a chain.

Okay. I like my padded room - it's comfy. And much safer! I was sitting here reading Crochetville postings when DH came from the, um, library and I leaned back to talk to him. My chair leans back and then is *supposed* to stop... buuutttttt, it was sorta at an angle so I just kept going back, slow-mo until I landed on the carpet... He was laughing so hard. He was gonna pull me and the chair up, and I said, with as much dignity as I could must while lying sideways on a tipped over chair, "I'll just roll out of it. But thanks." My daughter was sitting on the couch just looking at me and shaking her head.

So time to go back to the 'safe room'.... get my six inches of yarn and my paper hook...:blush

[darski]

:rofl

I hope you are not hurt...

[Shelleden]

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl I can't stop laughing!! Are you okay?? I can't stop laughing.... are you okay??

:woo :woo :woo

[funkyreporter]

Yeah, I'm fine. It's totally the CHAIRS FAULT... It's like those bad Fox Network Shows "When____ Attack" - you know, fill in the word... when pets attack, when sports fans attack, when COMPUTER CHAIRS attack.

I guess I reached a new level of stupid 'cause normally my kids would laugh at me and my husband would be concerned but he just stood looking down at me, just watching me slowly sink... like in chair quicksand, just slowwwlllly gooooiiiinnnnng oooovvvvveeerrrr. It didn't hurt at all - I sorta 'rode with the fall'. Actually, I just sunk. And then he laughed, a good hearty laugh. Laughter is good for you, ya know. But the way Tara looked at me, geez, just that look of confusion and annoyance, like "How could you possibly be so completely pathetic?"

I had to roll over and off the chair and then stood up and sorta straightened my shirt and pushed my hair behind my ears and looked at them, like, "What? Is there a problem in this room? 'Cause I'm just gonna go sit in the NON-MOVING crochet chair and work on an afghan... don't know what you guys are gonna do."

Oh... night nurse is coming with my psyche meds... back to my padded room (right now I have two 'spotters' on each side of the chair - you know what spotters are? the people that stand by you when you lift weights in case you can't hold them up? - yeah, so I'm safe.":hug

Sweet dreams!

I just got an email from Shelleden, and she told me I needed to post my Sock Monkey Purse in the challenge.

Here it is:

[Shelleden]

Jodi I really like this. I have to make my GD one now! :D

[funkyreporter]

That Sock Monkey Purse is GREAT!

I never realized how versatile a sock monkey could be:think ...

Perhaps one of you talented designers could make a Sock Monkey Stole - picture those fox stoles like in the old movies where you see the fox head on one side - only it would be stuffed Sock Monkey head... This could be BIG!:devil

Oh, darn night nurse is coming... maybe I'll invite her to sit in the magical sinking chair....
ever get that sinking feeling?
feeling kinda down?
just feel all tipsy topsy...:blush

[Shelleden]

Hey that's a good idea! Just lightly stuff the head, then on the other end make a long skinny tail that curls a little. Maybe some big googly eyes.... oh the creative juices are flowing all over the keyboard. Great! :lol

[Tracey4610]

ROFL!!!Sorry it's been a while since my last post...My last stint with sock monkeys landed me 3 weeks in "the hole". However, after reading all this, I have lots and lots of new ideas...Just you wait...*maniacal laughter ensues*:loco:flying:lurk

[Shelleden]

I've been wondering where you were!!!! I know you originally said the challenge was to see how many variations we could come up with by Christmas. Did you mean next Christmas?:lol This is so much fun - I have one almost ready to post.....

Our madness is much different and of course less insane..um... er... ah :think
Well you know what I mean :wlol

I ordered 3 - one for me, one for Paulette, and one for Jodi. Tracy do you want one? They're only $1,500. :2eek :faint :badidea

[kkatiez]

I've been following this thread all day! You guys are hilarious!! I guess I should get busy myself. Although, I'm not sure I have the right stuff to make a sock monkey!!:yay

[Colyak Crocheter]

Wow! We can be triplettes! :yes :yes :yes

You're just too kind! Anything for the mighty sock monkey.:devil

[funkyreporter]

Wow! We can be triplettes! :yes :yes :yes

You're just too kind! Anything for the mighty sock monkey.:devil

We're conjoined triplets separated only in spirit... and by several hundreds of miles... but otherwise I think we'll look smashing in our matching Sock Monkey Dresses with our Sock Monkey Hats and Sock Monkey Stoles and Sock Monkey purses... and of course we would complete the ensemble with our Sock Monkey Slippers *duh*.... and keep track of our med schedule with our Sock Monkey Bookmark and our keys *like they give us driving privileges:lol * with our Sock Monkey Keychains!

We're gonna be SO CUTE I just can't stand it!!!!!

But I don't want one of this stinky knitted numbers... I want a CROCHETED SOCK MONKEY DRESS and I'm gonna kick and scream and run with scissors until I get what I want:hook

[Colyak Crocheter]

Is it safe to come out and play yet?
Did they take the scissors away from her?

You know we will need the keychain to carry the key to the medicine cabinet. One of us has to have it, don't we?

Maybe Carol D. will even come and visit, just to see all the sock monkey attire, ya think?

[Tracey4610]

I ordered 3 - one for me, one for Paulette, and one for Jodi. Tracy do you want one? They're only $1,500. :2eek :faint :badidea

Sure, I'll take one...wait...I think my meds cost $1500...think I can go w/out them for a little while? :think

If you like, we can keep this challenge going until, um, Christmas Eve, um, 2010? :hook Just wait...Give me a few days...I'll have a few surprises in store...:devil

Shelle, I love it!! Now once dh lets me out on probation (he's insisting the house gets clean first...)...watch out!!

[Tracey4610]

Btw, Paulette, if you not swallow your meds first thing in the morning (i.e., hide them under your tongue), it makes the day more interesting...fixes the boredom quite easily...

[Shelleden]

Are you going to make one of the other Village People? Soon we could have a band. YYYYYY.... M.... C A!!!!

btw - it was funkyreporter's idea... thanks Paulette! You're so clever!

[Tracey4610]

hmm...now that's yet another idea!! :cowgirl:king:grandma:tophat:construct:sher Will these work?

Hey, I just found this in original patterns...

http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41930

Just to give us some more ideas...

[Shelleden]

I know! I saw that yesterday. It's sooo cute! And I can't believe it's her first pattern. A very good start. I thought about telling her to enter it in the Sock Monkey Challenge.... It doesn't have to be hats anyway, does it? Let's say Hats and Accessories. That would cover everything Sock Monkey related. I wish I knew how to contact Carol Duvall. I'd love to send her a hat or keychain. :hook

[Shelleden]

Cool! Those are cute. I like the tiny totes. Maybe I can translate those into crochet. maybe she says...

[darski]

It looks like the madness is spreading... it is working.

RE: Plan 10 from outer space, roger, over and out...

:rofl

[butterfly_girl]

What about sock monkey fingerless gloves......the really loooooonnnnnnnggg ones.......the only thing i've done so far is a sock moneky bookmark thing. but because i can never be normal, i made it into a pen topper thing. it's cute! (no digital camera, so no pictures.)

[Tracey4610]

Hey, Paulette and Shelle, I have some other ideas which i can't share with the board (not g-rated), but I'm pming them to you!! I'm going to hurry with it, before those nice people show up and rush me off to that warm, fuzzy place (my stash) and tell me I can't touch it! :devil:devil

You came in loud and clear...

It's med time and then wait for them to kick in and back to some more thinking....

[kkatiez]

I am so disappointed! It's been 24 hours and no one has posted anything new here. This thread really makes me laugh. I'm even thinking of making my own monkey. There's one in the Family Circle Easy Crochet spring magazine. He is sooo....cute. He's called Sock 'N roll Monkey. I love the colors they have used on him! Well, here's waiting for another post!!

[Shelleden]

shell did you fig out the banana rofl
I made a flat banana earring, and a 3-dimensional banana in case Monkey Boy gets hungry. :D

[Colyak Crocheter]

Now that I have more monkey :monkey yarn, thanks to Ms. Shelle, I can start on some new SM projects!

I couldn't get any of the yarn locally and my on-line place was sold out also, so she found me some while out shopping and shipped it to me.

She is such a sweetie! :flower

[Shelleden]

Aw shucks it weren't nuthin'. Glad to do it. Now, I expect to see some fantazmagorical entries you know. :P

[ktornatola]

:) Can we get some ear muffs? It's a gettin cold here (a little late) and I think ear muffs would be cute! :)

Great idea! That would be so cute!:clap

[ktornatola]

Ok, so I had another idea about the earmuffs....one ear should be an angel sock monkey and the other should be a devil sock monkey....hehehehe

[R3n331]

[R3n331]

I've already sold one, got an order for one and orders for 2 purses.
They are going to sell good. That Shelle got me hooked on the
cute sock monkeys!

I've still got a couple more ideas in mind that I'm working on too.

[Colyak Crocheter]

I made up these Cell Phone Cozies this morning. I really love these monkey's!

another cute:idea

:tup Keep up the good work
You sure have some nice things in your Etsy shop!!

:) I keep hoping Shelle will come up with a better monkey face than the one in S+B;)

[Shelleden]

Way cute Jodi!! I love the different expressions. They could be used as I-pod cozies, too. :cheer :clap :yay
I :manyheart it!

[hischildsindi]

What kind of yarn is the "sock monkey" yarn? Brand? Color? I am curious, I don't have the SNB yet, but want it.

A week ago I bought a new set of flannel sheets on clearance at Target. Haha.. they have Sock Monkey's on them, all over them, in all kinds of poses. I have washed them up and will use them soon. I was thinking maybe I could make me a sock monkey to sit on my bed when I use these sheets!

[Colyak Crocheter]

The yarn we're using is Bernat Denimstyle.

http://www.bernat.com/product.php?LGC=denimstyle

No one sells it where I'm at, so I have to order it or have a really
nice friend send it to me. :hook

[Rosemary]

Sock monkey sheets! I am very jealous. :yes

[Shelleden]

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_6_217v.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm415DHUS) Me, too!!

[hischildsindi]

Jodi, thanks for letting me know, I'm guessing it's the rodeo tan color. Thanks a bunch!

Shelle, do you have a Target in Indiana? Indiana is not too far from Iowa, so maybe you'd have the sheets there too.

Not sure what to say Rosemary, sorry hon, not sure what Toronto has. Maybe check Target online, if you're really want them.

[Shelleden]

Yes, we do have a target.... somewhere - haven't been in one in a long time. Next time I get the chance I will see if I can find me some Sock Monkey sheets. Do they come in King size?

[Colyak Crocheter]

You're welcome, Cindy!

It is the Rodeo Tan that we've been using.

[hischildsindi]

Well, Shelle, not sure about king, but they had queen, so I would suppose, unless they are sold out they'd have king size. I am putting them on my bed tonight... yummy fresh flannel sheets. Ahhhh... the life. :D

[Shelleden]

boy, flannel sheets would feel good right now in this 7 degree weather here in east-central Indiana. I'm ready for spring!!!!!!!!!!:wbrr

WIMP!

It's so cold here in L.A. I had to put a sweater on AND shut the front door. So there.:D

[Colyak Crocheter]

Well, it's finally up to 44 today here in Southeast Washington State and it feels warm!
Anything above 32 feels great! It was so cold here. :wbrr

Just out of curiosity, does 7 degrees feel different than, oh, 2? Would you say, "Whew, this heat is something else," if it got up to 16?:devil

Sure, you can come live with me... Just have someone tape thawing instructions on your butt for when you arrive!

[Colyak Crocheter]

Yep!

She's baaaaaaaaaaack :yay :devil

[hischildsindi]

:laughroll

You guys are hysterical. Shelle yes flannel sheets are wonderful in the bitter cold weather that has hit Iowa, and apparently IN too. Actually I love them year round.

I love the weather this time of year in southern California, nice and warm, compared to where I'm from. I went to L.A. back a few years ago at this time of year, well we even swam in the roof top pool several times. It was wonderful. I guess it's all relative to what you're used to.

And yes Paulette, 2 and 7 can feel greatly different, depends on if you have massive winds or just a cool breeze. :P You're just spoiled there in CA. :hug

:rofl

[Shelleden]

Okay! Today is a heat wave!!!! It's 32. Yayyyyyy! Balmy. I went to the store wearing just a sweater. I hate coats! I may put my screens in today. I might even sit out on the deck. In my shorts & tank top. Almost time to fill the kiddy pool. :dreaming
