What a book!

This book is a winner on all counts. The photographs are clear and illustrative of the many stuffed creatures the author has made out of socks and gloves. A gentle little story weaves the reader through the menagerie of characters, far beyond your average sock monkey.

Most important to me, her instructions for the construction of all the creatures are terrific. Several of my friends said they were the clearest instructions they'd ever seen for that kind of toy. She even shows variations on facial expressions.

It's hard not to fall in love with these little stuffed animals, and after seeing my copy, many of my students and friends have gone ahead and ordered their own. One note: If I were making these for a baby, I would embroider on the details, not use buttons...Enjoy!

Fun & Easy

I LOVE this book. I bought it with the intention of maybe making a sock monkey... I've made almost every animal. It's super easy -- the instructions and photos are great -- and fun to do. Highly Recommended!

Storybook Perfect!

I can't recall ever finding myself so delighted with a craft instruction manual. Instructions are clear; creations are delightful; and the characters and photography of those characters and how they came to be is just great fun.

Finally! A purpose for all of my mismatched socks

My son spotted this at the library, but most likely I'll be buying it. We simply loved the pictures of all these adorable stuffed sock friends (so much better than that creepy sock monkey). The enticing illustrations and well-written instructions inspired me (a girl who can barely sew a button) and made me think MAYBE, just maybe I can do this. Don't laugh, Mom.

Loved the Dog on the Cover

I found this book to be very helpful in creating sock items and have gotten much use out of the instructions. I also own "Stupid Sock Creatures" and both these books cover the spectrum of sock animals/creatures. Both have good instructions for putting them together and both books give you specific techniques so your creative juices can take off.
