1. I always fold socks together

lay them flat together then turn them inside out all the way so they lay flat in the drawer.

:shrug:

is there a better way?

aA

2. Fold? Naaaaaaaaaaaah...

I just line them up so that they all face the same way...and that's it!

Works for me and my husband both........ :shrug:

3. Fold. Rolling them seems to stretch out the elastic faster.

11. Haruka nails it

When you've got calves as skinny as mine, the slightest weakness in sockal elastic is cause for alarm. :scared:

12. *Self-delete*

5. I don't wear them. I get blisters, but it beats doing more laundry

6. Leave them for the sock gremlins

sock gremlins can be nasty little creatures ... but don't feed them after midnight.

18. my sock gremlin looks like this

She apparently feels that since there are no mice in the house, she has to protect us from those pesky socks. She "catches" them and brings them to me on my bed as tribute.

Either that or she's playing sock puppets. :shrug:

9. just a fold at the top to keep pairs mated....

eom

[billyskank]

10. I lie each pair flat against each other, then turn one inside out

thus folding the other inside it, and roll it down as far as the heel. Having parcelled the pair up thus, I then throw it in the drawer.

I learned it from my Mum. :)

13. Fold socks? Hayull, no.

I throw them in my little plastic clothes holding dealio and try to match them up when I need a new "pair." Notice I put "pair" in qotation marks? Yeah, they may or may not match and if they don't show, I don't care.

This thread should be interesting.

14. me too

same color = pair

[Jamastiene]

15. Good enough for me.

That works just fine. It is a system too. Most people just do not realize that.

[Fox Mulder]

16. I don't do anything to my socks.

I just throw them in a dresser drawer and forget about 'em.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

17. Strange topic

I guess nobody irons socks anymore...





like grandpa used too

[Katina]

19. Fold for my husband

roll & tuck for my son, otherwise he will lose one of the pair.

20. Micro ball them!

Just fold the tops over each other about 1 inch, leaving most of the pair dangling. Avoids the streching and better than folding!
