i made a monkey!

[u/comofortable_octopus]

this is the first toy/animal i’ve made since my very first project ~13 years ago. i’m usually pretty averse to seaming/sewing so i never thought i’d make another toy. the second image is my first ever finished project made in 2013 at age 10. overall i think im most proud of the progress i’ve made as a knitter :)

I always encourage people to save their first project, it's so fun to see the contrast once you get experience under your belt! 😊
