,ridge1 ,illinois ,illustration3 uncaptioned ,to a ,monkey4444 ,whereby ,this ,tale ,is ,hung ,this book is dedicated to a monkey1 a whimsical little fellow whose body is a sock and whose heart is hidden somewhere in cotton stuffing4 ,during the summer and early fall of #aiee several of our friends and readers of ,pack-,o-,fun magazine wrote to us about him4 ,we learned that instructions on how to make him could be had from the ,nelson ,knitting ,company of ,rockford1 ,illinois4 ,we received permission to reprint the instructions and thus our new friend1 the ,red ,heel ,sock ,monkey1 made his appearance in the ,november #aiee issue of ,pack-,o-,fun4 ,we expected a mild response and were quite unprepared for the deluge of mail that poured into our office and the ,nelson ,knitting ,company4 ,we had no idea that so many people were interested in making a toy monkey out of a few socks4 ,the requests kept coming in long after our supply of this issue was exhausted and we had to reprint the instructions as a separate folder to keep from disappointing readers all over the country4 ,we began to think in terms of other sock toys but there were so many other things to do that the idea was shelved for just a 8little while40 ,like so many other 8little whiles0 this one stretched into weeks and then months4 ,our little friend1 the ,red ,heel ,sock ,monkey1 sat in lonely splendor4 ,several months ago ,michelle ,graff joined our staff as an artist4 ,much to our delight we learned that she was quite adept at creating and making all kinds of stuffed toys4 ,within a short time the ,red ,heel ,sock ,monkey was no longer lonely4 ,he had several friends to play with after we had turned off the lights and left the office4 ,one of his most constant playmates was a roguish ,sock ,elephant4 ,we decided to use this packed pachyderm in some of our ads in other magazines and once again the response was greater than we had dared expect4 ,that settled it4 ,we decided to change a 8little while0 into 8now0 and publish this book4 ,we have used the ,nelson ,red ,heel socks for most of the animals1 dolls1 puppets and novelties in this book for many reasons4 ,one very good reason is that the red heel lends itself to the creation of lovable toys4 ,the brown body gives the feeling of warmth that a stuffed toy must have and the white ribbing and toes provide material for faces1 feet1 hands1 etc4 ,another good reason is that the ,nelson ,red ,heel socks are quite inexpensive1 selling for about #cj;c a pair and even less in lots of one dozen or more4 ,these prices vary somewhat throughout the country4 ,that brings us to our third good reason4 ,they are nationally sold and can be found in many variety1 dry goods and chain stores4 ,they can also be ordered through many mail order houses4 ,all you need are some socks1 scrap materials for stuffing and clothing plus a steady eye to thread a needle4 ,the instructions have been written as simply and made as complete as possible4 ,pick out your toys1 thread your needle and start4 ,and1 to make it even more fun1 vary the features1 the trimmings and clothes to bring out your own creative abilities and personal touches4 ,edna ,n4 ,clapper ,edna ,n4 ,clapper ,,table ,,of ,,contents ,to a ,monkey #b ,,sock ,,animals ,red ,heel ,monkey #e ,elephant #g ,teddy ,bear and ,daschund #h ,polar ,bear and ,piggy #i
