These socks have seen their better days |
But now, it is time to retire the last pair of Polo socks I'll probably ever own. I think this pair is well past the point at which 'darning' them would help! Does anyone darn socks anymore? In today's disposable culture, probably not.
Where's my darning needle? |
We have a progression for clothing at our house. Once clothes are too worn or faded or unfashionable to be worn in public, they become 'work clothes' and move from the clothes hanger to the work clothes stack in my closet. The animals don't care that your clothes are stained or have holes in them or are faded. Once they've become too atrocious looking to even wear in front of the animals (and that's pretty bad), they move to the 'rag drawer.'
We use a lot of rags for all sorts of cleaning jobs and have a drawer in our utility room that has plenty of old socks and cut up T shirts in their final stage of usefulness. These green Polo socks, in their final installment of their 30 year existence, will be a rag to clean the tires when washing the car or as a rag to clean up after changing the oil.

Holy Socks |
If these socks could talk, they'd have a few stories to tell about college life 30 years ago all the way to milking cows and tromping through mud and cow poop and now wiping used 10W30 motor oil from around the bottom of the engine block where the new Fram oil filter is about to be installed. Quite a fall from grace, I might say, darn it!
