Nice tub you have there!! Socks make a nice decoration, too.
I need to do that, too…
That’s a lot of socks! And a cute bathtub.
Gorgeous tub! But hand washing socks? No, no, a thousand times, no!
My goal is to have than many pairs of socks.
What a super tub.
I love it when I can recognize yarns/colorways in photos like this. Hello Hundertwasser!
; )
If the sock yarn won’t survive the washer it won’t get used for socks. I do air dry all my wool-blend socks, the cotton blends like Sockotta, Online Beach, and Regia Surf go in the dryer too!
Love this picture!
And thanks for the beautiful yarns you sent for KH. Very generous of you.
This is great!
Love the tub! Wishing I had that many pairs of socks…will have to work on rectifying that as soon as possible….could mean shawls may get placed on the back burner…
Handwash socks I agree with the other poster NONONO a thousand NO’s, the tub is beautiful, unless you have ever cleaned one, then it is a pain.
I laughed so hard…my tub looks like that when i break out my woolite and do yarn wash!
haha
looks pretty too!

This picture makes me wish I knitted socks.
My socks do just fine in the machine (inside lingerie bags so DH doesn’t toss them into the dryer), but they certainly do make nice tub decor. Your tub and shower arrangement looks very nice and convenient (except for the mentioned cleaning part).
P.S. Hope you’ll mention when you’ve read *Cutting for Stone*, as I’d love to hear your reaction to it.
