I just have to jump in to tell about one I made quickly--and it's still on a shelf. Had some brightly striped knee socks with the toes knitted on for your 'piggies'. I just stuffed them both, sewed the tops together, and tied a ribbon around the floppy toes (no stuffing in them)...it has served me well and gotten very many comments re my "striped snake" draft dodger.
