Old Socks, Good for somethin...

 Once again, I found myself staring at something in my hand dangling over the trash can, wondering as usual, to toss or not to toss (that's the real question isn't it?)...it was a pair of old socks with holes (been sewn 3 times in the toes but now the heel is worn and thin so there is no salvage for actual socks). So I noticed the tops were in great shape... hm...cut off the dingy-holy part and save the tops...

Sometime later, after many more pairs had been saved and the little gems sat in my 'some-day pile' with a faint coating of dust, I was looking around my work room for something to make knee pads. I was using a towel in the garden and it was such a pain to keep moving it along...

Looking at a saved milk jug I got to thinking the corner would fit my knee just right, soooo... Using 2 pairs of tops, I placed one inside the other and then put the plastic piece inside one layer, glued in place. Problem solved...

I like sharing ideas with anyone interested in helping to de-clutter the world's dump sites...Got ideas?...let me know!
