Sock Monkey Websites

I put a list of sock monkey websites on the main page of the blog. There are lots of sites there, all that have to do with sock monkeys. If you have a suggestion of a monkey website that I missed, tell me! I'd be happy to add it to this collection.
I looked up a little on the history of sock monkeys. A factory came up with a way to make socks on a loom so there was no seam on the heel. They added a red heel to their socks to show people they were original "rockford" socks, not an imitation. Then someone came up with the idea of a sock monkey and sent it to the company. They company must have loved the idea, because now red-heeled rockford socks puts instructions how to make a sock monkey on the package.
