I crafted one of these this weekend. From this actual kit (pictured left) which I bought for 50% off at the Dartmouth Book Store a coupla weekends back.
My first ever sock dude is seriously screwed up... stomach all bowed out with his arms coming out of his back...sort of the same bearing as Fred Sanford. (I think I shall name him Sanford, actually) But he has his adorable features-- lovely button eyes and a well stitched tongue. I'm now working on my sophomore sock monster effort. It's handy to be doing a sock monster rather than the more traditional sock monkey....because if it comes out all f-ed up & deformed you can plausibly insist ,"Oh that was completely intentional. I was trying to make him MONSTROUS"
