Amigurumi-Along: The rules

Amigurumi-Along: The rules
Just thought you'd like to know about this nice Amigurumi along. So if you don't like monkeys you could make a bunny or bird or something fun and join this one. It has some nice free patterns and mentions one that I posted as well.

Curious George

Probably the most favored monkey of all time....Curious George. I don't have him yet in my monkey collection but I do have a peppermint smelling monkey, a pink beanie one, a remus, an orangutan, one that bounces on a string, a finger puppet, a key chain monkey, and several others. I will post a pic of all or most of them in a setting for you later to help inspire ideas of what to make and in what colors.

I also have (yes personally) the following books with great monkey patterns:
1000 Great Knitting Motifs by Luise Roberts

Knitted Toys by Fiona McTague

World of Knitted Toys by Kath Dalmeny

Toy Knits by Debbie Bliss

And that's just going through some of my knitting books for monkey patterns. I hope to knit or crochet a monkey up soon. I was also thinking of knitting up a banana to accompany my monkeys! Happy New Year again everyone. And hope you all get to see the new King Kong movie. I haven't seen it yet but want to compare it.
Maybe I'll make a Mini Kong! :)
