You have heard of Alcohol addiction and Drug addiction -- Well I am suffering from Sock addiction. Went to a shop 45mins away to be there when they opened at 11am. Found some really nice colours and one group were marked at half price. If there is ever a shortage of bed socks, I have plenty to spare.

I never wore socks since I was in school until I started working out in the late 1980's and silly socks are now my signature, my favorite have pink flamingos on them. I have Mickey Mouse socks, Christmas socks, Valentine socks , St Patrick's day socks, and Halloween socks. Even my grand children roll their eyes at my socks. Kay

I will now think of you when I see a flamingo. Can't say I have ever seen them on socks though.

I have had many names over the years. We used to own a Fuchsia Nursery so I was known as the Fuchsia Lady, then on here the Biscornu Lady now the sock Lady.

Is this an Aussie thing?
I make my statement to the world with my hand-knitted woollen socks. The more 'far out' they are the better I like them.
...... and now, I am in the middle of teaching my sewing/quilting teacher how to knit her own socks.
BTW - IGA has those microfibre bed socks discounted right now. There was a lionish/tigerish-coloured pair. Couldn't help thinking of you when I saw them; nearly bought some, but then decided that Adelaide would surely have better bargains than we have.

Alma, If you do find them please buy them for me and post . Let me know the cost and I will send you the money. Lion, Tiger, Giraffe, Frog colours. But not any more than $3 for the 2 pair of socks in the bundle.
I'll keep you in mind.

This reminds me of my gd when she was little;she would fill up her play tent with all her stuffed toys and sit among them, happy as a kitten...maybe you could fill your room with sock people and enjoy them,lol.

You may already know this. You can buy the material
the socks are made of. It is usually near the minkie. I actually saw some t shirts made of it and
thought of you. Enjoy your new found hobby! Maureen

You do such nice sock monkeys, etc. Good thing you managed to get some at good prices! It's always nice to have a stash instead of wanting to do something and you don't have what you need.

On the way home from my Ladies day, my girlfriend was driving. I asked if there was a certain shop in that group of shops. Funny - the car just turned into the shops and all 5 of us raced into the shop and bought socks.

Oh what brilliant replies you have had to your comments. I am sure a sock addiction is far cheaper and healthier than a alcohol or other addiction. Perhaps we need to check socks out in our bit of the world and see if we can get you some very unusual ones

For years upon years, I kept a bag of socks that either had a missing mate, had been outgrown or had a little tiny flaw or some such thing. They were perfectly good socks, but no one wore them for one reason or another. So when I was cleaning a couple of months ago, I ran across that sock bag, and used my Rules of Cleaning to deduce that it was going. It hadn't been used, needed or touched in a year. So they went in the trash. NOW I find a good reason to have them. It figures. Oh well. Murphy's Law got me again. I hope you enjoy your sock addiction. Sounds like fun!!
