I finally got me the "Sock and Glove" book by Miyako Kanamori, sat down, and made myself a cute little creation. There were sooo many sweeties to choose from and I narrowed it down between the sheep, sock monkey, and this cute little elephant. I finally decided on the elephant and got to work. This was one of my more relaxing projects. It took about two seconds to cut out
the limbs and well,... the rest... I just sat down with the hubby and cuddled on the couch as I stitched all the pieces together. Very cheap also, I'm sure everyone can appreciate that, and it only takes a pair of socks, needle and thread.

Honestly, who doesn't want to tote this little guy around with you? And if you can't resist any 
longer, then you can purchase the book on Amazon for around $7. But if you are wanting to give it a try before you purchase the book, then jump over to the Martha Stewart website for a free tutorial for the "Sock and Glove" dog and bunny. Sorry, I would normally post nice step by step instructions, but I don't want to step on any copyrights. So, pop over there and pick up two FREEEEEEE tutorials. Your kids will love them and they are fun to make, sounds like a win-win situation, eh?

Imagine how much fun you could have with funky patterned socks?! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, as usual!
How cool! Maybe there is a use for all those weird socks I used to wear in college. lol
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that I never made sock puppets as a child? I feel so deprived. Hopefully Karys will have many in her future ;)
ReplyDeleteI bought this book awhile ago and I heart it in a big way. It has been fun making cute stuffed animals for my kids.
ReplyDeleteThose are SO SO cute.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! I can do this! And my kids will LOVE them... maybe make a few little gifts... we have TONS of socks we could use!
ReplyDelete♡ Cute! I still have a sock monkey that my grandma gave me when I was really young. My kids LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind a multicoloured sock animal, that would be a great use for all those lonely socks who lost their mates in the dryer! I have a lot of those! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Thanks for sharing a great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cute.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Those would also be so cute to tuck into a baby present - the ideas are endless! Your elephant turned out fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Thanks for posting it and the links!

That book is on my wish list. Though I don't know if I'd make any of them. I love the idea of it.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet those are too stinkin' cute. I wish I knew how to crochet.
Really...Is there anything you can't do?
ReplyDeleteJust asking!(lol)
These are just too cute! Such a classic, old fashioned idea.
