#25 - This is a sock monkey I made for a lj friend's graduation present.  She has a thing for Minnie Mouse, so I crocheted a set of Mickey Mouse ears for it.

#17 of 52in2008 | Charlie

This is Charlie. Just under 6" tall and often mistaken for a boy, she likes to play baseball (as you can see by the stylish yellow cap, cocked to the side, upon her head). When not on the field, she's been known to climb trees. No one's sure how Charlie is able to play with the boys and hold her own, but she's not about to let details like no arms get in her way.
