We are having laundry day at the moment, and throwing away old socks. I had this very nice pair of Xmas ones. Red and in the inside, they had this wooly texture. Turned out they were Holy! Unfortunately less immaculate conception and more Hole-ly. A real shame. So I bought a couple of new pairs. One black, and the other pair blue, to keep my feet warm. However, my kittens really like them too, and already has a hole in one pair. As for the black pair, they are shedding fluff everywhere, and molting. Perhaps I just have bad luck with socks.
