Now it's time to grab that other sock, provided it hasn't disappeared. Don't laugh -- I have about a half dozen socks whose partners have mysteriously vanished. It can happen. Turn the sock inside out and flatten it the other way, so the heel is folded in half. This sock is much more picky as to what it turns into. The diagram to the left shows you what I mean. The long front half of the sock is the tail. Before cutting anything, I'll give you a bit of advice I learned the hard way: You'll notice the tail and the arms are the uppermost section.

Microwavable Sock Frog (Now with huge pic tutorial!) - TOYS, DOLLS AND PLAYTHINGS Tutorial added after the pictures of the first sock frog! After offering to make a friend either a sock monkey, sock dog, or sock cat, she requested a sock frog. I've never made a sock frog before, and didn't have a pattern, but I felt confident because of all the experience I now have making sock animals. Anyway, I love how it turned out!The stuffing is a mixture of two things... the bulk of the stuffing is a pouch of rice I made, and the rest is just normal polyester fluff. I put the rice in a pouch first, because I find that fluffy socks (...or any socks, really) tend to loose rice or flax seed from stretching and tiny holes and bad fairies.

Embroidery: Two Color Technique One of my all time favorite craft books is The Constance Howard Book of Stitches. I find it a never ending inspiration. All of the pictures in the book are in black and white but they show the most creative embroidery stitches and opened me up to the idea of two (or more) color embroidery, which is something I'd never really thought of before. If you want to experiment with two color embroidery you can follow along with the charts below. Here are some tips on reading the charts: All stitches are worked from the right side of the fabric.The odd numbers represent a needle exit point and the even numbers represent the entry point.The red numbers represent the first thread color and the brown numbers indicate the second thread color.

Here's a quick pattern calculator that tells you how to make two main arc pieces for a simple flared skirt.

Instructions Knit Simple Magazine Embroidery is used to add another dimension to your work once the knitting and blocking is complete. It is most effective on simple stitch patterns—stockinette stitch is the best. Many types of yarn can be used for embroidery, but you should select one that is smooth enough to go through the knitted fabric. Make sure that the weight and content of the yarn is appropriate for the knit piece. Yarns that are too thin will sink into the fabric, and a too-thick yarn will stretch out the piece. The embroidery yarn should have the same care properties as the yarn used for your sweater and should be colorfast.
