Sock Monkey Central
I'll warn you now... this lens was mainly created for my own amusement and some of these photos are just plain crazy, there's no two ways about it! Be sure to check out the monkey videos, the sock monkey dresses, and the various internet links I've uncovered. If you don't own a sock monkey, I've provided links where you can purchase the materials and other links providing instructions. If that's not your thing, you'll find some handsome monkeys waiting for good homes at Amazon and eBay... link also provided for your convenience! Just scroll down and take a look!

Why it's better to shop online
It's too cold, it's too hot, you can't afford the gas, the baby doesn't like his carseat, you might run over a nail on the way to a mall or fall into a big hole while walking across the parking lot, the dog ate the strap on your purse and you can't be seen in public... only solution is to shop online!

Sock Monkey History
A little history behind the socks
According to Wikipedia the creation of the sock monkey dates back between 1910 and the early 1920's, made then from discarded hosiery... although the type and style isn't stated. The earliest documented sock monkey dates back to 1919.The traditional red heeled sock monkey we've come to know and love made it's first appearence in 1932 when the Nelson Knitting Company first started creating red healed socks. By the mid-1950's this sock manufacturer began placing sock monkey instructions with every pair of socks sold. The company eventually acquired a design patent for the sock monkey creation and went on to use the doll in their promotional campaigns. In 1992 the Nelson Knitting Company was acquired by Fox River Mills who still manufactures the socks to this day.
