[BlindTlk] getting/keeping socks matched up..

Tue Jan 23 23:34:33 UTC 2024

For years, I pinned my socks, but at some point I changed, partly because I think the pins can make holes in socks, though that really didn't happen much. However, the socks I have now are compression socks and I really don't want to poke them with pins. Frankly, I mostly use rubber bands now. So, there you go, at least three ways to keep those little guys together. One last note... They also make plastic things where there are two little holders in one and they are for thicker socks. Takes a little longer to get them together, hence another reason for me to use rubber bands.
