Socks mad

Great excitement this morning, I decided to sort out my knickers drawer and I found a pair of unworn socks

Almost all my socks either have holes in or are so thin as to be see through. I shan't throw them away as I have this book and I'm hoping to make some sock toys out of them. 




But first I need to buy some new socks, I find many are too tight around the cuff so I'll wait until I can buy the ones I like before I cut up the old ones.

I like the photo you have at the top of your blog! Lovely!
I have found that diabetic socks are comfy to wear - not tight up around the ankle. I am lucky that I do not have diabetes but the socks work well...

Love the title, stray sock sewing😆I have this vision of all these poor socks being rounded up to work on, on saying that I wouldn’t mind a go myself, back in my playgroup working days, I got the kids to make Hobby horses from a stuffed sock and a piece of dowling, happy days!!

I bought some cheap socks a couple of years ago which looked a bit odd-they had a gathered ankle cuff which made them a bit looser-Everything 5 pounds site-think it was for 10 or 12 pairs x

They are guaranteed to never wear out. My daughter and son in law wear them all the time and sent me a pair.

Stray sock sewing!!! I have quite a collection I could turn over to someone. (and as soon as I do, the other sock will turn up, bet on it.

Love the idea of using all those sad single socks. I wear "comfort grip" socks, I buy them in multi-packs they work out much cheaper.

Feeling stressed.

I'm worried about Beano, his nose is warm and dry and he hasn't wanted to go out for his usual walks today. My face is sore it feels...
