wee sock monster
Sock brothers Jordan and Gordi have a baby sister!
Made from a pair of Ozone knee highs that always fell down and bagged at my ankles, Prune is smaller and much sweeter than her big brothers.
Based on "Owlsley" from Stupid Sock Creatures
Next to wee one herself, I think she's just about the cutest thing I've ever made! posted by alison at 9:17 am | in

Your children are going to have the best 'memory boxes' of stuff to look back on when they're all grown...so lucky to have such a good Mommy! Posted by: Jenny at September 24, 2007 9:23 AMAwesome!! She's surprisingly cute. Didn't know monsters could be so attractive. Posted by: ruth at September 24, 2007 9:38 AMYou are getting w-a-a-y too good at this sock monster business! Prune is the cutest thing to come along since Wee One! Posted by: Katherine at September 24, 2007 9:57 AMOh my goodness, that is the cutest thing. And the felt eyes give it the perfect look! Posted by: Alexis at September 24, 2007 10:23 AMOh my gosh! I really do think that is the funniest, cutest sock monster I have ever seen. I'm 22, does that mean I am too old to make myself some silly sock creatures to play with? I hope not. Thanks for sharing this! Posted by: Mary at September 24, 2007 10:26 AMShe is adorable. She has lots of personality! Posted by: Sherry at September 24, 2007 10:29 AMHad to delurk to publicly admire! Way too adorable! I think I'm going to have to break down and make some of my own now, my sock monkey is getting lonely! Posted by: Jes at September 24, 2007 10:42 AMDelurking to say that is possibly the most adorable creature I have ever seen. There are no babies or toddlers in my life right now and yet I am itching to make one of these delightful creations and a pair of Saartje's booties. Fantastic stuff! Posted by: livnletlrn at September 24, 2007 10:48 AMShe is gorgeous in a homely sort of way! Nice job. Now, I am getting inspired again to finish the sock creatures I started months ago. Posted by: Kathode Ray Tube at September 24, 2007 10:48 AMI love it! Cool sock to start with, too! Much better use than constantly pulling it up ;-) Posted by: Sarah at September 24, 2007 10:51 AMAre those not the PERFECT socks for sock creatures? wow! Posted by: lori a at September 24, 2007 11:16 AMThose are great socks, but I think they look better as a monster with a fancy party dress!! I seriously NEED that book!!! Posted by: Rachel at September 24, 2007 11:23 AMSuper adorable! Congrats on the craft zine blog mention, too! Posted by: Stacie at September 24, 2007 11:25 AMOmg that monster is freaking awesome!

Posted by: Jennifer at September 24, 2007 12:49 PMAdorable!! Posted by: Marnie at September 24, 2007 1:13 PMYou are SO talented! That is soooo cute! You are sooooo very talented! I never knew that sock monsters could be so cute! Posted by: Sarah at September 24, 2007 2:03 PMWow! That's adorable - you could start your own sock monster cottage industry with monsters like that! Cuteness abounds! Posted by: PlazaJen at September 24, 2007 2:18 PMThis is so cute, soooo cute. I love that mouth! Posted by: Amber Lee at September 24, 2007 2:47 PMAwww! That is the cutest sock monster ever! Posted by: Sarah at September 24, 2007 3:23 PMGreat sock creature! But you need to call her "Prunella" instead of just "Prune." It's much more sock-monster-y. Posted by: jenn at September 24, 2007 3:43 PMHow adorable! Posted by: Andrea at September 24, 2007 3:53 PMYou outdid yourself, Alison! I love that S was a consultant. Posted by: Anita at September 24, 2007 4:17 PMshe's so cute!! what awesome socks to make a wee creature out of XD Great work! Posted by: elizabeth at September 24, 2007 4:21 PMThose sock monsters are just the cutest! I guess I will have to have one ;-)) Just a quick note w/o clogging up your inbox: I mailed my sock savior socks today and my substitute pal knows about it :-) Posted by: Petra at September 24, 2007 4:23 PMI love seeing all of these. I have a tendency to keep my socks well after they've developed holes (It's like I keep hoping the holes will magically disappear), so I might want to keep this in mind for when I want a quicker craft than knitting a pair of socks. Posted by: Seanna Lea at September 24, 2007 4:57 PMMy 8 year old walked past the laptop when this page was up, burst out laughing and said 'that's a funny sock!' It had her approval for sure. I might have to start hiding your creations from her - she'll ask me to make her some too. Posted by: Cybele at September 24, 2007 6:06 PMWhat a cute critter!:) Posted by: Bernadette at September 24, 2007 8:27 PMThat has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen! Posted by: Lindsey at September 24, 2007 9:12 PMThat is absolutely THE cutest stuffed creature I have ever seen. Posted by: amy at September 24, 2007 10:32 PMAdorable! You couldn't pick a better sock to make a creature from, and I love her eyes. Posted by: Carrie at September 24, 2007 10:37 PMI LOVE her big purple lips! Posted by: Laurie at September 24, 2007 11:51 PMI have to say that upon opening your blog and seeing wee one's sock monster, I just thought that smile was so cute. I really dont think they are all over cute, but this one I really like. Posted by: Sue at September 25, 2007 12:19 AMLOL. she's adoreable. Posted by: Orli at September 25, 2007 12:51 PMsock monsters not only rock but they rule! Posted by: Gayle at September 25, 2007 4:38 PMCute... cute... CUTE! This is just crazy cute. Posted by: Nicole at September 27, 2007 10:57 AMThat sock creature is ADORABLE! Posted by: Anna at September 27, 2007 10:16 PMShe is just adorable! Posted by: Pia at October 1, 2007 6:49 AM |
, she's got cute pointy ears, felt eyes (no buttons for the baby!) and a ribbon tag of hair for hanging her on the baby's stroller. The knee high gave me so much fabric to work with, I couldn't resist making her a pretty dress to match her little purple shoe feet. And of course, the contrasting colored heel of the original sock really makes that funny sock creature mouth stand out. S insisted that I make her smiling, so I curved up the edges of the mouth just a bit.
