Bare with me on a little stream-of-consciousness here- First it started out with an e-mailed picture of a sock monkey dress- here:
But that was trumped quickly by this one: 
Which led me to think about a really cool book I got last winter- had to do a search and found it here:
John Murphy's 'Stupid Sock Creatures' on Amazon. Truly a delight- I couldn't wait to get going on my own menagerie! Or maybe a grandkid's for 'someday'.
More Socky Links:
handmade sock monkeys - a photoset on Flickr with maybe 30 or 40 different monkeys and other beings.

Oh boy, there is more sock monkey stuff out there than sea monkeys in Monterey. But then I found the definitive item, coming full circle to the sock monkey dress again:
A REAL Baby Doll outfit, not involving pajamas!(Would you believe this all started from a hideous 'wearable art' dress someone forwarded to me, then I received another photo of a hideous crocheted number so we were dissing the lack of ...um...elegance, when a friend came up with the sock monkey dress. And Away I Went!
Oops, forgot a winner. Alfred
