I love making new friends. And thanks to Sock and Glove, I can make a new friend every day!
Easy to make...easy to love!
Sock and Glove presents thirteen delightful softy projects that are quick to make-and certain to amuse and delight. Full of individuality and mischief, these stuffed creations are all pieced together from ordinary socks, gloves, and mittens. Step-by-step illustrations and instructions make it easy to craft and dress a whole menagerie, including monkeys, elephants, piglets, bunnies, and even an insouciant fish.
Kelli made a darling kitten at girl night last night and Laurie cut out the pattern for the sock monkey I made for Markus today (pictured above). She also started and finished a sock monkey for her collection she is making for her son Ryan. Laurie just returned from a trip to New York with her 12 year old daughter and while she was there, she saw her sister in law's collection of sock monkeys that she had made while going through her divorce. She bought the Sock and Glove friends book and made one just about everyday for her friends that were having children.
Endearing to adults and children alike, these whimsical creatures make perfect gifts and inspiring companions.
When we are writing, or painting, or composing, we are, during the time of creativity, freed from normal restrictions, and are opened to a wider world, where colors are brighter, sounds clearer and people are more wondrously complex than we normally realize. - Madeleine L'Engle
