I am a real worry. Just can't help myself. What do you think of my latest. His name is Lionus. Just a little off Colour.

38558All 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.

Lionus is a cutie Pie! I know any child would love to have this along with alot of adult collectors also! You should be proud of your talents! You do great work! Good luck! Linda

Almost the end of Bed Sock season here, so have to wait now until next Autumn - but then I have plenty to go on with.

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.

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.

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

I am going to try to sell them at my market to get some money to buy more socks. If they won't sell then they will go to a hospital with my trauma teddies.

70767They 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.

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

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.

Chris, There is a person selling Sock Monkeys on E-Bay for $28 - $31. I would be very surprised if she ever sells any. Mine will never be that price.

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

Hi Lyn. The mane is dark Brown. Actually the photo makes it darker than it really is. I like this one better than my orange lion (Leonardo).

Thank You. I just love this little guy.. Had to change him a little. My first try had his crutch down too low - just like the young guys these days with the undies showing
