I’ve been putting together postcards of all the sock monkeys I’ve made up to the present and past. If you’re looking to get some postcards of your Mars Sock Monkey check out my Zazzle store. Each postcard is tagged with the sock monkey’s name so it’s easy to find. To search just enter the name of your sock monkey in the box under “Search this store” found on the left hand side of the page. If you don’t see your sock monkey or if you’d like to order something other than a postcard like a t-shirt, button or other stationary let me know and I’ll create it specially for you.
I’ve already ordered some Mars Sock Monkey postcards and they look great! It’s like ordering from a print house, except I can get 1 or 8 postcards. ;)
There’s more Mars Sock Monkeys in sundresses coming out this weekend! I’ll also show you my latest custom sock monkey Felix! Now it’s back to work on a romper for a boy sock monkey…

The pattern is pretty simple. Once you have a starting loop, single crochet (sc) all around [...]

Seba, Mimi and Honty Mars Sock Monkeys
Meet my most recent rainbow sock monkeys, Sebastian and Mimi. Working with rainbow socks is great because there’s an endless array of color options when it comes to making the hoodie. I also found sock monkeys make great thank you gifts. You can also never go wrong with giving your girlfriend a cute stuffed animal. [...]

Fun times at The Martha Stewart Show
This week was a whirlwind! I got the opportunity to sit at the 1,000th show of The Martha Stewart Show! Actually, the Twitter section of the audience, which of course meant live tweeting from the show and getting some VIP treatment.
It was great to see one of my favorite chefs, Mario Batali, make pasta and [...] -
Steeking and New Knit Mars Sock Monkeys
When I first read about steeking, it was hard to imagine such an unconventional knitting technique. Wikipedia says:
“In knitting, steeking is a shortcut used to knit garments such as sweaters in the round without interruption for openings or sleeves until the end.”
But cutting holes in knit fabric? To leave openings for sleeves? Sounded crazy to [...]
