My socks died...long live my socks

[VikingKvinna]

Last night a pair of beautiful grass-green hand-knit socks, with a leaf lace pattern, expired. The cause of death was a large, undarnable hole in the heel, with secondary problems of thinning yarn in other parts of their anatomy. They were only 3 years old. They are survived by my cold little feet and a very uninspiring sock yarn stash.

RIP.

I have some funky Fair Isle socks that I knit over 20 years ago and reached the point of no return. I still have them because I couldn't bring myself to throw them out :

I considered cutting these off to make legwarmers for someone really short and fat but I was so disgusted and sad I just chucked 'em. Thanks for the sympathy!

Today is truly a sad day for the entire world. There is never a "good time" for a good pair of socks to go.
