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

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. |

holey socks
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.
