Summary

Sculpt and sew a one-of-a-kind menagerie from cast-off socks and your own imagination. These curious creatures-distant cousins of the celebrated sock-monkey-have horns, wings, funny names, and plenty of attitude. Once you learn to turn sock parts into teeth, tongues, tentacles, and other body parts, you can invent your own creatures, each with its own distinct personality.
