beginning, middle and end Once I had those silly socks in my hot little hands, I couldn't wait to get started on the boys' stupid sock creatures. This book is so funny - it doesn't just say to cut, but instead instructs you to hack and slash with swashbuckling strokes.
Look at how silly they're going to be!
And it's about time I finished up that bowl so I can felt it, don't you think?

LOVE the coulors of the sock monsters! So tempting! Posted by: Teresa at December 12, 2006 9:36 AMThose are so cute!! My boys would love those! :) Posted by: Nicole at December 12, 2006 9:38 AMThey remind me inexplicably of kachina dolls. Argyle kachinas -- now that's multicultural. Posted by: Lucia at December 12, 2006 9:57 AMOh SO cute!! My boys would totally dig those. I'm doing sock monkeys for their stockings this year, but maybe next year - sock monsters! Posted by: earthchick at December 12, 2006 10:23 AMI love that book. I pick it up everytime i see, but i haven't bought it yet. Posted by: erin at December 12, 2006 10:26 AMThose sock creatures are going to be so awesome!!! Posted by: Andrea at December 12, 2006 11:01 AMOoh, I love the argyle! Nice! Posted by: ruth at December 12, 2006 11:48 AMI wish my kids liked fun stuff like sock dolls! Those are going to be so cute. Posted by: krista at December 12, 2006 12:00 PMThose are great! I think I will make one for my (grown-up) brother for his birthday. Posted by: lyssa at December 12, 2006 1:51 PMSo cool! When you posted about the book at first, I couldn't help but think how rad argyles would be... can't wait to see your FO's! :) Posted by: aija at December 12, 2006 2:09 PMi got crazy socks at trget and the dollar store to make some. i love the book too! Posted by: heatherly at December 12, 2006 3:33 PMI wonder how my husband would feel if I raided his drawer for his argyle — which happen to be some of his favorites, LOL! These are adorable! Posted by: Carla at December 12, 2006 3:38 PMI love that book! esp. the whole thing about lips ;-) Can't wait to see your finished creatures... You rock! Posted by: Amy at December 12, 2006 5:21 PMThat is so clever how they use the heels as the snout/mouth, and I love the little argyle ears! Posted by: Sonya at December 12, 2006 8:34 PMLooking at the photo in the book I couldn't figure out how the sock monsters would come together with just two socks. Now that I see the pieces cut and placed together in your photo I understand. They are so cute that I wish I had thought of it! Posted by: Katherine at December 13, 2006 11:16 AMThose are going to be so great! They already have character. Can't wait to see the finished product - especially the buck teeth!!
