My Sock Problem
I am currently in possession of 22 pairs of socks.
Hand knitted.
One was a gift pair.
The rest represent some thing I cannot quite put my finger on.
I love to knit socks.
At least one pair of the socks I own is from 2009.
I'm so very good at tossing things out at home..
If it is broken or chipped,
not used in the past year,
out it goes.
We have a small small house.
There is no room for storage.
However,
parting with any of my knit socks is a real gut wrencher for me.
I was able to part with 4 pair this morning.
They served me very well.
The heels are barely individual stitches anymore and the cuffs have long fallen down.
Still I felt a bit guilty saying goodbye.
I have 4 other newly knitted pairs ready to gift.
I can gift socks.
I just can't trash them.
Knitting socks is my go to.
The purchase of sock yarn is never a waste for me.
They are affordable skeins of deliciousness.
Good bye 4 pair.
We danced together so well.

I don't take overly good care of them (wash them in the machine, try to remember to air dry them) and they eventually start to get some holes. They lived good lives. I will never forget them.
You put it so well. YEs we will never forget them! Sniff sniff

I still have plenty in my own drawer and NEXT winter it will be nice to have room for some new ones.
I will throw out a pair with a hole; I tried darning for a few pair-never again! Yay, they need to be replaced, I get to knit more!
I never get tired of knitting socks, either, but I give away more than I keep, which is probably a good thing. My drawer space is limited!
