Socks

DO you as I do, just stich up holes in the Hubby"s favourite socks, so he can get a few more wears out of them, don"t mean darn.

Re: Socks

No - when a hole appears they go in the bin!

Re: Socks

OMG socks. I went down to dinner yesterday evening to only then find a hole in one sock above the shoe line. I had packed ready to come home so no chance of a quick change.

Apricot, These days, we live in a 'Throw Away Society'. I still mend things. I suppose it stems from my days at school where we were taught to mend things in Needlework classes.
I don't like holes in the toes of socks, they really irritate!

You wern"t by any chance at some Turnip Toff"s pile ??
Too humiliating for words, old boy ! What Ho !

Re: Socks

I wear men's socks, as they are the only ones that go up to a size that fits me. When they get holes, they're cheap enough to replace. I usually buy them in packs (Primark, or Morrisons in the past).

Maybe I should learn the art of darning?

Re: Socks

Maybe I should invest in Marks and Sparks shares-clothing sales down but an older git needs a pack of socks

Re: Socks

Thing is he likes to match his sock colour to his shirt colour , but sometimes I find it difficult to match up these things .
Bet yous lot don"t have these problems .

Re: Socks

So do ours.

We, OH & I, buy those gentle grip socks. We hate circle marks on our legs from the tops of ordinary socks. OH gave all his others to our Son.

Re: Socks

I love darning socks sadly hubby says they are cheap enough to chuck away so they go in the bin before I get my hands on them, only my hand knitted ones get the darning treatment these days he wouldn't dare throw them away without letting me have some fun.
