Once when I was looking for good instructions on sock monkeys I came across this cute story-Oscar the sock monkey. It is titled Oscar – The Big Adventure of a Little Sock Monkey. It is really cute =)

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.

Meet my New Monkey
I made my a blog about sock monkies because I just made one yesterday! Now I have a love for sock monkies! But I have no idea what to name him!
He is really cute, but he isn't made of a real red heeled sock. Where do you get red-heeled socks? For instructions to make one click here.
