It seems I have been non-compliant with my sad story about the suicide socks, and my readers demand a happy story about socks - not that there are many happy stories about socks to tell.
So let's start with a happy second life for a sock. There are many, many options but I would like to share the following sent to me by Hilda - who is also a Maplotter. Imagine how happy the sock as well as the little person will be to receive this wonderful transformation. Almost as happy as me when I lose 100kg in my own transformation. The changes of a sock ending up as a happy kangaroo in its second life is obviously much higher than the changes of me losing even 10kg. But then the blog is about socks not about me, so let me re-focus.
Sock personal story - here is more happiness, maybe more than you can handle. And I was reminded by the Cheshire cat that socks can be fun too - so enjoy these fun socks.
I work with chickens (ok maybe not WITH chicken but stuff involving chickens.) I saw these socks on the web, and viola - got them organize through one of my wonderful agencies called WE EVOLVE. They were given to all co-workers who completed a task related to chicken feet, and I now have evidence that if your socks are happy - you will be happy.
Thank you to my IVS colleagues for always going the extra mile, even if it means walking in chicken feet all day.
I also include a rare picture of me having fun in my chicken socks - they look so much better than my own legs and feet. makes me wish I was a chicken. At least then someone would be willing to pay for my thighs. Nom-nom!!
That is about as much fun as I can handle without drinking my whole bottle of wine tonight. (Need to save a glass or two for tomorrow evening, just in case I am in need of fun again)
Following my self-assigned blog structure, I will now touch on Sock Facts. And something fun everyone should know about socks are that there are special Sock days! (https://www.happytoes.com.au/Sock_facts_s/88.htm)"There’re a huge amount of awareness days which involve socks. Whether it’s odd sock day, red sock day, rock your socks day, or novelty sock day, you’re sure to find something to wear for these days on happy toes. You could even sneak on some of our footlet to wear for ‘no socks day’!"
Sock Creation - OK - this is NOT FUN. Not even for my cat. After 3 evening of fighting with 2 balls of wool, 5 bloody knitting needles, 1 pattern in small print and 1 tired old woman trying to knit a sock - I can categorically tell you it is not fun to knit socks. Alas - I need to complete the challenge as I know the fun will come when I pull these sockies on my feet and slip-slide through my house on the cold tile floor.
Sock challenge - how many suicidal sock have you found? Please find them before it is too late and they are lost forever. I promise you I will give them a good home. So this is still fun, because you are saving a sock from self-destruction and giving it a life of fun in my household.
Talk to you after the weekend
