Aw, how cute is this little guy? I made him from a jumper sleeve for my lovely workmate Laura, who needed a gift for a one-year-old's birthday. You might recognise the fabric from an earlier critter's jumper.

Q: What do you give a friend for her birthday when you're not sure what she'd like?

A: A birthday hug and a stripey sock critter.

I made this cutie for my friend Marion with socks my friend Fiona gave me on the weekend.

Q: What do you give a friend who's moving interstate?

A: A farewell hug and a stripey sock critter.

Yep, this lil' lady was made for my pal Judith from those same socks of Fiona's. Sometimes a pair of socks goes a very long way - in this case, all the way from Melbourne to Sydney.
