All of your sock animals are just terrific. The children must enjoy them. I was wondering what kind of thread you hand sew them together with, is is extra strong so they don't come apart or just regular thread. Just love them, they are so original. Can understand why they all left home at the market, but I am sure they have all found great new homes. Have a good day and keep on sewing these cuties.

Michelle, I use just the everyday sewing thread but double. All the stitching is done by hand and this type of sock is very forgiving as you can't see where you have stitched. This makes it hard if you have to undo something.

These are darling, and you make them with socks? How clever is that.

I did not come up with the idea. I am not that clever, but there are so many animals/toys you can make with a pair of socks and they are so soft.

He is adorable. I got an e mail from Martha Stewart
Living this afternoon. I looked in the sewing section and there is a Sock dog with a reindeer head
and a long hot dog body with twig antlers made out of socks. Though of you. Check it out. Maureen

Thankyou Maureen for thinking of me. I have seen the dog, but would not put the antlers on it if I make it.

I agree-I think it would limit it to xmas.
I have enjoyed seeing your projects. Keep
enjoying what you do. Maureen

I am not very good at descriptions. I just wish you could all come to my place and I could show you. They are really the same as the sock monkey with just a few small changes to change features etc

They are all so cute! Love this stripy fellow, could be a cross between a lion and a tiger, aren't those called ligers?
I hope the weather will be clear for your market day and people fell in love with your menagerie.

mi30kaja by mi30kaja 06 Oct 2011

Thank You Martine. I will be disappointed if they don't sell. I just love making them -- Could it be Tion??

mops by mops 07 Oct 2011

Close. I looked it up. A Tigon is the offspring of a tiger and a lioness, a Liger has a lion as a father and a tigress as a mother.

mi30kaja by mi30kaja 10 Oct 2011

This is interesting. Have never thought of the names of the offspring.

It is virtually the same pattern as the sock monkey with just a few small changes to give them character eg., the mane.
