Oct 15: 'Knit'

As no-one knits in my house I was a bit stuck on this one.
Imagine my joy when I went into one of my sons bedrooms and found this little knitted 'Monkey' on the book shelf!
"They don't look that happy do they?"

hehehe...Love it!

[Rosie Kind]

You can't beat a PG tips monkey for inspiration!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Erm, no the big one looks dead miserable and the little one looks really angry. Have they been arguing?
Great fun and I love the crop.

Thanks Ruth, Rosie and Alison, the strange thing is, my son is 18. That and the fact that Monkey was sitting on an Andrex dog?

[Fanny Brogden]

Bloody miserable I'd say!! For goodness sake leave the poor boy alone, he's got your genes, what do you expect.........:))) Wonderful fun, I wondered what you would find for today!!!

[helen]

All I can see/hear is Johnny Vegas shouting "mon-keh"!! Well found!

[bernadette mcelligott]

LOL great shot,and I agree it is cropped very well and you just get an emotion from them LOL, looking at this I was reminded that I have a knitted teddy belonging to Patrick (21) but it is up in the attic and I am too lazy and I have my shot for today, but I remembered it wrong and thought it was wool!!!! DOH

You're not wrong Fanny, he has got my genes.. With regard to what I expect, I expect him to bloody give them back! I'm sitting here in my shorts...

@fannyb

[Lisa Pouncy]

Definitely look a bit miserable...maybe it's the smell?? Not being rude but I have 3 boys and their bedrooms have a very distinctive aroma!! ;o) xx

I know what you mean Helen and its the thought that counts Bernadette.

Ha ha ha, you may be right Lisa.

@psychographer

[Therese]

hehehe... well, if truth must be admitted, I still have my collection of toy monkeys! Though... they are a happier bunch than these! :-D

[❀ Lynn]

Love 'em. You're hilarious!

[m9f9l]

Big guy is sad that HE'S not the knitted one and getting HIS pic taken! Glad you found something knit!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

The big one looks like he is going to thump mon-keh! Well found and well shot.

[Michelle]

Knitted one looks a little perplexed! Perhaps hes not sure what big one is so sad about!

[Phil]

I've got one of those - he sits on my kitchen radiator and looks glumly at me most of the time. I thought it was because I don't drink pg tips...! Cute sock monkey even though he's not smiling at the camera...

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

@monkeykid - good on you Teresa.
@lynnb - thanks Lynn, I think?
@m9f9l - do you mean something for knit or something, you knit?
@streetlyend - you may be right, I don't really want to know what goes on, up on the book shelf.

[m9f9l]

Knitted! Ya twit. :-)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Well you'd probably look like that if someone posted a picture of you without your knickers!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great shot for knit. They are cute but I agree, they don't look very happy.

[Juliette Packham]

very cool knit shot - I have a pink knitted monkey at home, he doesn't look too happy either...must be a monkey thing!!

[Lyn]

My youngest brother had a sock monkey as his favorite "lovey" as a tiny boy - and the other brother and I used to torture "Monkey" as teasing. . . I suspect that our monkeys weren't very cheerful either! Love this shot.

[Deb]

Nice shot of the knitted chimp! It doesn't look like his friend is too happy!

[Kerri]

Cute

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

@tishpics - Luckily I have a spare pair of shorts Pat (See reply to Fanny above)

@lyno - How could you Lyn! So it your fault that soft monkeys look so frightened and upset!

Thanks Marilyn, Deb, Kerri and Juliette, it may well be a monkey thing but I think it more likely to be Lyn's torture?
@mittens @sparkle @deburahiru @kerristephens

[Ellen Young]

lol! This is great Bulldog! I love the expression on the big monkeys face! so cute and great for the challenge word! :)

[cheryl]

if knit was your challenge word.. you captured it well.. I love the face of the bigger chimp.

[Sean O'Neill]

Has a real Toy Story feel to it. What had they fallen out about in the seconds before you walked in? @lyno and @psychographer Shame on you both for making me splutter my first cup of tea of the day!!

[Nat]

Your shots crack me up Bulldog. Love it.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

I am so glad my monkeys sad expressions make you all happy?
I love reading through all yor comments, it like a little happy story each day.

@ellimae @cheribug @seanoneill @natr

[Colleen]

Aww, they look so cute!

[Rachel Mackenzie]

This is soooooo cute! Love the expressions (even though they do look sad, but hey adds character ;)

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Thank you Colleen and Rachel.

[Netkonnexion]

Fun and very cute. I love those adverts in the UK. Nice one.

[Mike]

[Hazel]

They definitely look related. I'm always wondering what I'll find next on your page!!

[Charlene Barker]

Such a cute knitted toy

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

@netkonnexion & @caddick - They were good adds, wernt they.
@quietpurplehaze - It is loading as we speak Hazel
@peacerebel - Thanks Chariene.

[Jane]

Be scared, be very scared... I also have the little monkey... and I also have the gorilla..... I think they may be related..... Think I need a cup of PG ♥

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Tough crowd to please I see- maybe they should spend some time with the bots to cheer them up.

[Cally]

See, amongst all the laughter, your sons also help you out with your photos... Though Andy II and I did have a laugh about your Bots and the blender earlier...

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

@aromatic - That's a little worrying, is your real name Charlie and is you dad know as Bulldog?

@olivetreeann - I am reading all your coment in the wrong order Ann, I so want to say something, but I am pretty sure you will have seen what happened to the bots.

@cally - How could you!

[Wendy Bowden]

Cute

[Ann Stenson]

Ha ha!.....We have him too!.....And Erm The Xmas edition in a xmas T Shirt! ( Not that im bragging or anything!) Im not letting them anywhere near the blender though! : )
