My husband is threatening to install a lock on his sock drawer.

I was wildly attracted to the insane looking creatures on the book's cover and even more ecstatic when I found this kit offered; the obvious benefit that you can make a creature immediately - and I'm sure Mr. Murphy, the author, knew that once that was done, you'd be hopelessly hooked!

You'd think a sock would pose many limitations, but once you get the simple, basic techniques down, you're limited only by your own imagination. The slightest alteration in stitching and element placement (limbs, facial features, etc.) can produce fantastically varying results.

Important to me, a "stuffing novice", was the inclusion in this kit of the appropriate polyester fiberfill which is extremely soft and fluffy. (Michael's sells what I found was the best, Fairfield's Poly-fil Supreme.)

You really can't go wrong with the wonderfully detailed instructions and helpful tips in this book. And get this... he even provides ideas on how to use the leftover scraps from each project. I think at that point, I was ready to give him my first born. *lol* Once I finished my first creature, I couldn't help but giggle every time I looked at him sitting on the back of the couch. Each subsequent creature's personality blossomed quickly and amusingly. I originally wanted to make these as gifts, but I'm finding that I just can't part with my new friends!

They may be stupid...but we love them so...

I purchased this kit for my 11 year old son, as he always has great fun entertaining the family with his impromtu sock puppets. The skills needed to create the little guys are a little more advanced than I thought, so I ended up doing most of the sewing...but it still has turned out to be a fantastic gift. My son and I will plan a creature out, and once he is finished, he has something to cherish that we did together. We enjoyed learning about the author from he website, and wish him all the success in the world!

Sock Puppet

The kit comes with everything you need, however, instuctions are not easy to follow. I bought this for a 6 year old and ended up doing most of the work myself.

Stupid Sock Creatures Book & Kit

Great fun book. I can hardly wait to lay in a supply of kinky socks and make a bunch of these creatures.

best ever

This book takes good juju to an entirely new level. Every detail has a smile or three behind it, and the net effect is a better world. Enjoy it too much, as I do.

Stupid Sock Creatures brought to life the most incredible, irresistible flock of wacky monster creatures ever seen on this planet. And with this wildly creative kit, it?s fantastically easy to create such characters as three-eyed Jordan, four-footed Estelle, and other wickedly funny soft toys to cherish (and covet). And you won?t even have to raid your sock drawer, because all the necessary materials are here, starting with the Stupid Sock Creatures paperback. Also inside the kit: compacted polyester fiberfill stuffing, shrink-wrapped; one pair of patterned crew socks and one pair of solid-colored socks, each in a poly bag; 12 assorted buttons; 50 yards of polyester quilting thread; one sewing needle; one five-inch doll needle; and three strips of assorted brightly-colored ribbon. Plus, there?s an instruction sheet of brand new creature variations, not shown in the book. Crafters will want to stitch up an army of these kooky but cuddly creations!
