Sometimes you want to mix it up from knitting and crochet projects. Ok -so silly and fun obviously does have its market or we wouldn’t be awash with sock monkeys and stuffed monsters from a place called The Monster Factory. I am no more immune to their appeal than anyone else and I am likely particularly susceptible since I spent hours as a child placing various granny squares atop my cats head for hours of amusement. Have you ever just seen something in a shop or bookstore that just makes you giggle? This book did just that!
Behold -a puppy made from a sock and a glove. Yup -a sock and a glove. He isn’t finished yet, but he already makes me smile when I look at him.
I came across the book: Sock And Glove by Miyako Kanamori. I thought the photo was so cute and when I bought it I had the ladies at the checkout leafing through every page smiling and cooing along with me.

This was originally in Japanese and I find the Japanese craft books really adorable and well photographed. This one is no exception. The instructions are fairly simple and I think these projects would be great for kids to do with some adult supervision. Being a big kid myself -I just find them really amusing and more importantly -they make me smile.
Can a sock make you smile? I think a sock with a glove certainly can!!
love it.. i want to order one..
That’s really cute. But where’s the face? It can’t smile if it doesn’t have a mouth. It’s like… Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty doesn’t have a mouth. Doesn’t have a voice. OMG, the existential angst of it all.
That be super cute if it was a… kitty. A big fat orange sock kitty.
Hi 21st c. Girl, Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great one!
