Summary: It’s something we all can relate to: you open the dryer, match up your socks…and inevitably a few have mysteriously vanished into thin air. Where have they gone? We don’t know. But now once-happy pairs have become sad “singletons” with no purpose. Now, Cynthia Copeland—whose books regularly break sales records— comes to the rescue with a little gem of a book that gives new meaning to those left-behinds. Filled with Cynthia’s wonderful light-hearted illustrations, contains 200 surprising, clever, and fun uses for the remaining sock, along with humorous insights into where all these missing ones may have washed off to. - From Cider Mill Press
What a great last minute gift idea! This book is SO cute and funny but also useful. You may be thinking how can a book be a reference and humourous. Well it's possible. With over 200 uses for singleton socks plus lost sock anecdotes (such as quizzes, stories & brainteasers), ideas to stop you from losing them in the first place and adorable illustrations and diagrams.
The ideas are categorized by type: socks for pets, socks for tots, socks with a message, socks in the garden, socks at play, socks in the car, dolls & socks, healing socks, safety socks, socks to protect and many others.
Some sample ideas (please note: the following ideas are © 2008 Cider Mill Press.)
- Cut off the foot of two long socks and sew them to mittens. They'll tuck under sleeves and stay on better than mittens alone.
- If you are painting and want to keep your shoes from getting splattered, slip single socks over them.
- Frilly socks can be turned into Barbie doll clothes by cutting off the toe and making arm holes
Perfect for the thrifty crafter.
