Don’t worry, detailed hand-drawn templates are included to guide you every step of the way.Praise for Socks Appeal“Assigned to cover the recession and housing crises that was brewing in 2008, Maloney started making sock animals for her children as a stress reducer. Maloney found that the more traumatic her job got, the more creating a new sock animal each night seemed to help. Maloney’s wit and candor in how she writes the instructions is hilarious.” —Publishers Weekly“Her collection takes the classic idea of the sock monkey and makes it into something new using basic techniques and imagination . . . Most of the projects are easy enough for (supervised) children, but adults who like a little whimsy won’t be disappointed, either.” —Library Journal
