so , when do you discard them?
Like say you spot a hole in one sock while the other one is intact … do you care to stitch it up and carry on using it ?
Would you stitch it up the second time too ? or would you just throw it away and get a new one?
When is a pair too old to wear ?
Re: Socks ...
wow ur socks last that long ? in our house socks have a mysterious way of disappearing
Re: Socks …
yeah they disappear pretty quick .. but i have found a way of managing them … I have a separate basket to collect all the dirty socks … and I try to put them in that basket in pairs … they all go in the washing machine together … and i make sure when they dry up, I put them back in pairs …
If any of the pair gets parted , I dont throw away the other half, I keep them in a separate bag and most of the times , they turn up weeks or months later 
Re: Socks ...
I just remembered , A friend of mine has four kids and obviously its really hard to keep up with the sock count ... she normally ties a pair with a safety pin , right from , collecting the dirty pair for laundry , to the cleaning bit , to the drying bit to the placing the pair back in its place , the safety pins dont come off !!!!
Re: Socks ...
I have a question do you change yOur socks everyday or every other day?
Re: Socks ...
I darn holes but when the fabric starts to become dull from repeated washing and kinda rough then it's time to put them for recycling.

Re: Socks ...
^queer changes them once a month.
Re: Socks …
^ 
… now the question is , how do you know that info 
Queer 
remind me to gift you 50 pairs of socks on your next birthday 
Kinzz, the max I can wear the same pair is two times … that too depends on the weather .. if its hot outside or raining , i dont wear the same pair again and it goes straight into the laundry …
Re: Socks ...
Any socks that lose their partner are great to use as dusting mitts. Wash them first though obviously :p
Re: Socks …
^ yes , they are great material for dusting , but make sure its a ladies sock .. coz most guy’s socks are horrid
Re: Socks ...
i discard them when i can NOT find the other pair for two consecutive days :D hehe
Re: Socks ...
i like wearing socks with holes
Re: Socks ...
I do my own laundy so I never lose my socks but I throw them out once they start fading and defintely chuck them if there's a hole in one.
Re: Socks ...
holes in socks? i chuck them out
Re: Socks ...
I throw away socks with holes too...however if i cant find the other pair...i just wear another sock whose pair is missing too...ONLY AT HOME though hehehe :)
Re: Socks ...
^ I like that strategy .. I do that too ...
Re: Socks …
By the way , I often wonder what is so exciting about the designs on the socks … Like no one gets to see them anyways .. they are hidden in the shoe … why bother so much about the design or the color of the sock 
Re: Socks …
In Canada, ppl tradionally take their shoes off at the door, so it’s in everyone’s plain view…so, wearing a cute pair of socks makes sense…doesn’t it? i never ever wear socks with designs on them, 
Re: Socks …
I like that tradition 
… it forces people to wear clean pair every time
you mean you always wear plain socks? Liar liar
