I did the same thing with an old grey sock of mine but I gave it button eyes and stitched it a mouth. It's my sock zombie.

Love this, I'm always looking for a way to use up socks. My husband and son get through no end of the things. If I don't tell her where the material for the gloves comes from I might even get my daughter to wear them!

VERY AWESOME
i wear the big toes of my right feet out really quick, and i collect cute socks, so it's really upsetting when i can't wear them anymore 'cos of the huge holes.
but this way i can keep the cute patterns and actually make them useful! :D
