For once, I have a craft tragedy that Destructo-Boy didn’t cause. Remember my wonderful orange aran sandal socks? I discovered them in a laundry basket earlier this morning…a laundry basket full of clothes that had just come out of the dryer. Keep in mind that while I do throw all of my other hand-knit socks in the dryer, these were made out of wool that specifically said “dry flat”, and I always have. They are now about three sizes too small, and have a slightly fuzzy, felted look to them. All those lovely cables… I’m sure I’ll be able to find a new home for them, where they will be loved and worn, but it won’t be by me. <Sigh.>
