Description:
In this swap you will be making or buying a sock monkey. Sock monkey's are fairly easy to make project, and pretty cheap. I can make one for under $5 and they aren't heavy so I think they should be cheap enough to do an international swap. Start to finish they take about an hour if it's your first time. Don't worry if the monkey isn't perfect, the "flaws" are what gives them personality! If you want to make your own check out these sites: http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1104 http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Sock-Monkey If you would prefer to buy them, then you can check out Etsy stores or google other makers! You can start working on your monkey now, or wait to tailor it to your partner's profile! Newbies are welcome, no-one with a rating under 4.7, and I will ban anyone with a no-send if they do not contact me first!

I emailed the co-ordinator yesterday to see if partners are going to be assigned soon and haven't yet received an answer.

Sorry that I didn't assign right away. I had to go out of town unexpectedly and just got back. I didn't have my laptop with me!

I think a mini sock monkey would be fine, so long as it's a sock monkey :)

Since I didn't assign partners right away I extended the send date to the 18th.

If you liked making this sock monkey I started a swap for a Halloween themed monkey as well :)
