My Sock-Monkey phase all started with this pattern: George - Sock Monkey Cup Cozy by Alejandra Quiroz - check it out, a free download here on Ravelry.
So we are having a Fun Fair at school… what can I say? Folks bid on our ‘baskets’ of goodies, and we teachers get to keep the funds to buy supplies for our classrooms. As an Art teacher I always need supplies, so I was REALLY motivated to make a FUN ‘basket’. (The basket is really a huge cup cozy, I think the container inside held cashews at one time.)
