Sock's

[TWR]

How many of you throw away the pair of socks when the toe on one starts to get a hole in it? myself, I do.

[ummmm]

I do too.

[Tilly2]

.....and me.

[albaqwerty]

and me

[waterboatman]

Me also.

I don't, I pair it up with another one (even if it doesn't match).

[waterboatman]

To match pairs, I sew a wee bit of cotton into the toe of each sock. A different colours for each pair. Makes matching them after washing so much easier.

all my socks are black so if one gets a hole in it i throw it away ... the odd one isn't on its own for long

[jakep]

Same as sherrardk here

[kvalidir]

I often wear mismatched socks by choice so as long as it has a bed mate of a similar fabric then no, but if it's a real one off texture wise then they go in the bin :)

[ummmm]

Most of our socks are black or white so can be paired with other socks.

I've given up pairing socks except OH's work ones.

[emmie]

seems awfully wasteful, surely you have other socks that match, if not buy ones that are the same.

[Arksided]

So annoying having a toe poke through the hole, I don't throw them away they get promotion to be cleaning rags. Kitchen floor etc...

Odd socks are fun........

Hi TWR,
I do! I went and bought a mushroom too, still throwing them. Bought some new today in fact.

[bookbinder]

I don't. My wife still remembers how to darn a sock.

[Cloverjo]

Same as kval. I just throw away the one with the hole. I only ever wear socks outside the house if I'm wearing boots. So as long as they're the same fabric they're fine.

[albaqwerty]

Bookie, I have problems finding somewhere that sells darning wool.
All of Mr Alba's socks are the same anyway.

[woofgang]

I usually wear odd socks but I like them to be pristine so I bin any that look washed out or worn before they get to the hole stage

[bookbinder]

alba, Mrs. bookbinder says the same as you; darning wool isn't as easy to find in the shops as it used to be, thanks to this throwaway society that we live in now.

[albaqwerty]

I used to find it relaxing, sitting watching something on tv and darning.
I remember my mum having quite a selection of darning wool on the cardboard thingies :-)
