The only thing it really affects is the length of the arms and legs. I've been thinking about getting a really large men's sports sock and making a giant monkey, but I haven't stumbled across the socks yet. To be honest, whenever I go into a pound shop or Camden market I keep an eye out for cheap socks and make whatever monkey comes out of them. The purple and red monkey all came from knee-high socks from Covent garden market. 3 Pairs for a tenner.

I usually put a small amount in the arms and legs before I stuff them and some in the tail.<BR/><BR/>I use cheap socks! Anything I can find on sale, in Peacocks or 3 for a tenner on the market. The thinner they are, the more the stuffing shows through if you over stuff them though. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988738.post-1160151207229773882006-10-06T17:13:00.001+01:002006-10-06T17:13:00.001+01:00I didn't realise you used lentils in with the stuf...I didn't realise you used lentils in with the stuffing - is that for weight?<BR/><BR/>What size socks do you use?<BR/><BR/>I am just about to embark on Rock Monkey # 1, wish me luck!warriorgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064188180258248810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988738.post-1160151198302866482006-10-06T17:13:00.000+01:002006-10-06T17:13:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.warriorgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064188180258248810noreply@blogger.com
