Single Socks?

March 2, 2009 By Michelle Barneck 6 Comments

You all know what I am talking about. Those socks that go in to the wash as a pair and somehow come out alone. I hate folding socks. I hate matching them, I hate how they get stretched out at the top after so many times being rolled to keep them together.

I have learned many things from my mother, but this little trick is one of them. Use a safety pin and pin them together. (Don’t use the gold ones, they eventually leave a rusty mark) So simple, yet such a profound difference it makes! My mom keeps them in a jar, but i take it one step further and use a magnetic pin cushion. We keep one in each room. We take the pin out and put it on the cushion in the morning and take our socks off and pin them back together for the laundry at night.

Socks in the bin in the drawer, just grab one and you have a pair.
Yay! No more losing or folding socks.

And now you know the use of the contents of the “Simple Sock” starter kit, so go enter the drawing!! Quick!! 🙂

    I’m always afraid I will forget that the safety pin is in there. Kudos to you for being so “trained”.

    Brilliant! So do you wash the socks with the pin in it? You are so on the ball to be able to do two blogs 🙂 You go girl!

    Yes, I wash them with the pin in. The only time our socks don’t have pins in them is when they are on our feet.
