Yay for reaching your target weight! They can call any time for your operation, can't they? Do you think they might do that soon?

I did take a picture of the partial monkey, and will post it if I find the widget (and feel strong enough).

Congratulations on reaching your target weight! 28 lbs. is great.

And, as for the "obscene" sock monkey? I'd love a look-see.

i used to make sock monkeys constantly but began to run out of people to give them to.

I've only made one so far, but I've become strangely fascinated by them since.

Congratulations on the weight loss! That's really fantastic.

I'm looking forward to seeing a photo of the rainbow-hued scary monkey. I tried to make a sock monkey from this book, but it insisted on coming out as a sheep. Now I make sock sheep for people instead.
