The sock thread.

[pax]

Ok , so I was rearranging my sock drawer and after folding and counting

my 55 pairs I thought "Hey this would make a good thread" so.... show us your socks! Colourful, patterned, crazy .

Here's my last creation - hand knitted, colourful, warm.

My socks are all white (and soft)... I'm mostly boring in the clothes department...
I have to organize my stuff (as I am guessing you were doing)
I have to have all my stuff organized, clean, and ready to go...
If not the day just starts out rough and that's not a sign that I'm going to have a good day...

I do have some Superman underwear that I was given as Christmas gift (still confused as to why that was the gift that person gave me?) ... : )

That's cool that you made your own socks! Wow...

ASD ALERT... I have thought this whole time you were a guy... I have a friend who's name is Paxton and we call him Pax... So I never paid any attention, and I was thinking that a dude was knitting his own socks???
Nothing wrong with that, but it had my head all tangled up... So I did what I should have done a long time ago and clicked on your Profile pic and wow your a girl Pax... and not a guy Pax like I'm used too...
It all makes a lot more sense to me now... geez how I get stuff all messed up. : )

Topic made me think of the many Sock Matching games
and learning activities for children.

Sorting Socks 2-in-1 Wooden Matching and Memory Game
OTPlan: Matching Socks Game activity idea

I think there was a game of matching socks on Facebook at one time, too.

I used to like drawing elaborately patterned mittens, socks, and Easter
eggs when I was a child. Each one had to be different, though. Not
matching.

Wear white cotton socks each day. And have many pairs of the same kind. Once, years ago, my mother said that her mother wore a similar kind of sock all the time. They feel comfortable on my feet, don't make my feet too hot or too cold.

In winter when the floors are slightly colder, I combine them with an additional layer of hand-knitted socks that my gram knitted for me. Have about ten pairs of wool hand-knitted socks.

Cotton socks are perfect for my feet, although when I go somewhere and have to wear boots in winter I usually wear wool-blend socks. As soon as I return home, I take them off. As they are much too itchy.

These are the ones I wear. By the way Pax, those hand-knitted one's are beautiful.

Ha funny. I've assumed the genders of a few people here based on their avatar or name or manner of posting and found out later I'd assumed wrong.

I picked the name for 3 reasons.
1. I needed one to post couldn't think of a great one.
2. I'd had bad experiences at The Other Place that shall not be named and did not want to keep that name here. I just wanted some acceptance and peace. So, Pax. It's Latin for peace.
3. There was a weird science fiction /mystery movie around a few years ago called K-pax about a guy who proclaimed he was different from everyone else, experienced everything differently, and was in fact an alien. The authorities thought he was crazy , but when they tested him he could see in UV etc. (Kind of regretting the choice a bit in light of the Kevin Spacey scandal - but there you go)

Just the non-sock related things.
