"You mean the kind you wear?" :?? says a woman at church who sees me working on a sock this morning before Bible study started.

Is there another kind? I wanted to ask. But I didn't. I just thought it was a funny reaction, I guess most people can't remember that socks didn't always come from Target!! :teehee:

:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
You should have said, "no - its the sock I use for straining peas!"
:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:

:teehee:
Too funny! Who knew socks could be made with knitting needles instead of big machines in factories?

:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: what a weird reaction. It's true, I guess people forget that before machine-made clothes, there used to be hand-made ones!

OMG, if I had a nickel for every time someone asked me why bother knitting socks when you can buy them anywhere... :wall:

'No, it's a willy warmer/c*** sock/vibrator sock.'

:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: Redwitch!!! :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:

I have several incredibly rude and inappropriate responses to this, so I will just say that holding your tongue makes you a better person than me!
