Monkeyshines

Day 161: I have had a busy morning. Thanks to an internet friend who sent me a pair of "Red Heel" socks, I now have a sock monkey of my very own. I even knit him a little hat just in case it started snowing again while he was posing for his portrait. I can see a few places where I want to improve on the traditional construction. The most major change would be in the length of the white portion of the arms. They seem too long to me, and that's even with shortening them a bit for this version. I would also cut down the toe which forms the dome of his head. It might be fine with a size Large sock, but with the Medium, there's too much crown. The hat conceals it, though.
