Make your own Donna Wilson Monster

Sniffing my way through the latest aromatic copy of Icon Magazine (I think it's the printing ink that makes it smell so good), I noticed that the online version of Icon magazine, Iconeye has a downloadable guide to making a Donna Wilson knitted monster.

I know knitted monsters are not everyone's cup of tea, but in this era of etsy and home craft, making things yourself can be simple as seen in the 'how to make a monster' video on this page. Donna Wilson's work is fun, tactile and uncomplicated. Her guide to making her monsters is fairly uncomplicated too, and if like me you have a glut of shrunken jumpers, all you need to do is shrink them a bit more and turn them into gifts for a new born or a birthday present to scare a niece as I unintentionally did earlier this year.
