what to do with odd and holey socks
 

Has anyone any bright ideas as to what to do with odd or holey socks. I have considered darning any woolen ones I have but then the holes are always on the base and its not very comfy for walking

I use them for dusting.

For the woolen ones stitch the hole so it doesn't run, draw around the persons foot so you get the size roughly, cut out a piece of sturdy fabric and fold in the edges and sew to the bottom of the sock. No lumpy bits and you will have a hard wearing sole. You can do this to woolen socks before they wear out and they will last a lot longer. I got sick of repairs too.

You could make sock toys with the others.

I use them for dusting, rags for cleaning windows,cover your feather duster with a damp sock great for cleanng cobwebs then wash sock afterwards keeps duster clean and cobwebs stick really well to damp sock, I have also used them in shed to store small bits and bobs hang them up like christmas stockings, keeps shed tidy and easy to find items.
