My friend, who recently had a baby boy, created this “Woodland Creature” themed nursery with cute handmade toys, pillows, blankets and illustrations. It’s adorable! You can really tell how much love went into each item and Felix Mars Sock Monkey is no exception. These are only a few of pics so check out the complete nursery set on Sara’s flickr. :)

Meet Felix, the latest custom Mars Sock Monkey made for a soon-to-be-born baby boy! Felix wears a brown hoodie with blue & red striped sleeves with a cute little fox on the front. His hoodie also comes with fox ears to complement his woodland creature look, an awesome theme chosen by my client. Felix likes to roll in the grass, spring up from bushes and eat berries cereal. He is so cool!

I also found sock monkeys make great thank you gifts. You can also never go wrong with giving your girlfriend a cute stuffed animal. [...]

It was great to see one of my favorite chefs, Mario Batali, make pasta and [...]

“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.”
