There was a horrible moment of nausea
when I realized what had happened.
In February, they looked like this:
:-(
Six months was a pretty good run for a child's wollen socks, I guess.
Still, there has to be a clever way to save these. All those times I've congratulated
myself on recycling/upcycling need to pay off right about now.
I will felt the second one.....
.... and then I'll add some non-skid decals to the soles....
....to make woolen slippers for a favorite little friend.
Just in time for Autumn.
My favorite part....the silver linings are nice to find.

what happened???
One handknit sock accidentally went into the washing machine and felted itself.....thick, wooly, felt.
Are you ever going to update your blog? ;-)
Ohhh, bummer! At least you found a way to save it!
Oh, sad, but wonderful that you were able to pass them on. Where did you find the non-stick bottom iron-ons? I love them!
The socks are beautiful. I am afraid to knit socks. But I do love knitting mittens. That is my new obsession at the moment. :-)
What a beautiful blog...I love the creativity (and love those little feet in their "new" slippers...so cute)
If you can knit mittens, then SOCKS will be no problem. :-)
