Hey – just showed these photos to my dear husband, who now realizes I’m not the ONLY one who knits one sock and moves on to another project….there’s strength in numbers….Happy Mother’s day!

more uses…

Pencil case.
Change purse
bunny ear warmer
pin it to your pants and have a tail for the day…
or put it on your dogs tail so as a tail warmer
two of them and have mismatched earrings
hang it up by the door and drop your keys in it when you come in…
keep your ipod in one, and if it’s big enough, keep the cords and accessories in it too.

I was thinking of you as I was finishing dinner the other night (and knitting on a sock)- what about a potholder? Or you could use it as a silverware holder/display on each plate for a knitting dinner party?

Earing holders – tack the sock to the wall and stick earings on it.
Gear shift cover – those suckers get hot in the summer.

Good luck on mates for the poor, poor, poor orphans. Hey, as long as the second sock is the same length, make them fraternal twins. That way you can try out more patterns.

um – would you mind identifying the patterns you used? And I can totally see you in the brights.

I tend to be more cautious and knit my socks in threes in case one goes missing. I am married to the Laundry King, so everything has to be machine washable. I am slowly sneeking in hand washables. I love socks, especilly argyles and would usually buy 3 pair to end up with one after a year. Now that I am making my own, I’m sure to keep a much better eye on them.

I think you need to follow Cookie A. example and wear your socks regardless of whether they match each other!!

I’ve been putting in many hours at “work” this week so missed the sneak-up. Oh well, I have a lot of yarn from camp that I need to work on!!

Hey I got a good one- put rice in one end and use it as a hubby banger. I’m joking!
Just thought of that because I use a plain white sock with flax seed for a heated neck pack- it smells, so rice would work better. I drool over all the gorgeous yarn. Maybe use one as a burp cloth? I gotta go get a cup of coffee and wake-up.
I got my giggles for the day.

Totally scored on the sneak-up! I found new temptations waiting for me when I got out of French class…

I’m absolutely *terrified* that the next Sneak-up, with all the lace, will happen Tuesday or Thursday morning, when I’m at work, and all the lovely lace yarn will be gone. I’ve totally budgeted for a major order.

*shiftyeyes* I feel this might be unhealthy. Nah.
