Love the post. I'm volunteering with the Sierra Club Socks Sockathon on November 1 where we're inviting people to buy wonderful new socks made from organic and recycled fibers with the Sierra Club brand of quality. I'll write a post linking to your post here for suggestions of what to do with socks people are done with when they get their new socks! What a great idea! Love the post.

Hopefully our next attempt will produce better looking puppets-though the ugly characters are often the favourites in make believe world. Jennifer: My daughter just got her first pair of sunglasses. She wouldn't let us use her carebear orphan sock for anything crafty, but maybe she'd use it for her new cool sunglasses! Fun idea. Thanks for the tip Liza!

Use a small piece of felt (or other scrap of material) to sew behind the button on the underside of the sock. That way you're not competing with the knit material. Great Ideas!

We made sock puppets for the car today. I recommend keeping buttons out of the picture entirely and sticking with markers. It's harder to sew them onto a sock than you'd think! We stuffed all of our sock puppets into the ugliest sock in our pile and put them in the car for the big road trip. Thanks Tammy and Ana! We made sock puppets for the car today.
