Sockenstein Creature Lab
Unique, handcrafted toy creations for all ages
Sockensteins are handmade, one-of-a-kind sock creatures—the perfect holiday gift for kids, adults, adults who think they’re still children and even that little 15-year-old emo cousin of yours who wears all black and hates everything.
As seen on Platinum Babies!
We here at the Sockenstein Lab pride ourselves on knowing that each of our creations are one-of-a-kind and always handmade. With the right combination of whimsy and chic, they are designed to fashion anyone’s style.
Thank you Sockenstein fans for all of the overwhelming support at Actorcrafts 2009. Check back often for newly available Sockensteins.

Sock shopping
People always ask me how I name each Sockenstein. Really, there is no formula. More often than not, I sit and stare really hard after I finish making them or it’ll come from the person I make it for. But once in a while I receive a little gem of inspiration which is too good to be true…

10/31 Nerds
Coming soon! The Nerds…
A new Genus of Sockenstein will be revealed November 15th.
Genus Punks
For hardcore use only. These guys are not for hugging or sleep-overs. You think they got up late this afternoon and styled their mohawks to be taken to an imaginary tea party? These guys wanna sit next to a loudspeaker blasting some Siouxsie and the Banshees or Ratatat.
Genus Lost & Found
Pick me! Pick me! These guys have come from far-off places. They’re not quite sure whom they belong to. Last they remember they were climbing the Alps or performing Swan Lake—now they all live in this crate. It’s up to you to find them a loving home. This is a very eclectic group of creatures that get along with everyone.
Genus Kiddos
Haaaaeeeya! These guys are ultra-lovable creatures who like to think of themselves as Japanese superheroes. Wildly colorful and uber-stylish, they go great under an arm or on a pillow. Entirely made from socks, these guys are also kid-friendly!
Genus Nerds
Shhhhhhh, these guys are trying to catch up on their weekly copy of the New England Journal of Medicine. They don’t have to be dressed in silly clothes, and please don’t touch the hair. Sit them in front of a sensible half-hour of the Discovery Channel, or have them recite to you something exciting like the Pythagorean Theorem.
