Are you a sockmonkey hater?

I couldn't figure out why my manager at work was dragging her feet with making the storyboard for the crochet class. So yesterday she dumped all my items on a table, and we sorted it into knitting, crochet, and other piles. I handed her the sockmonkey for the crochet pile because he has a crocheted outfit, and she wouldn't touch it. She said, "That is so ugly, I can't bear to display it." That isn't the first time I've run into that opinion. My boyfriend thinks they are scary.
Pouts. Don't be a hater!
That sock monkey has been all over the internet and many people have told me how adorable they think he is. Can't please everyone I guess.

I honestly didn't know anyone was still out there making these. With all the mass produced stuffed toys out available; I thought the sockmonkey had gone the way of the dodo. Whether they are "cute" or ugly depends on the "eye of the beholder" and the person's skill that made it.

I think they're funny, weird, and a bit ugly, but my kids have them, my mom makes them and I have a site dedicated to them!
Check it out at: http://www.squidoo.com/sockmonkeycentral/
It's a new site. I'm still working on. Soon it will have even more links, sock monkey history, and more. :)
