I cut off the upper stretchy part and sew a quilted circle the size of my drinking glasses to the bottom. They work great for catching the "sweating" from a glass of an iced drink.

My daughter Angie had to have a pic line inserted into her upper arm for chemo therapy. They covered it with a white stretchy thing,,unattractive. Someone suggested she use the cutoff top of an old sock instead,and this worked so much better,,nicer looking, could be changed easily and came in nice colours.

I buy the same color and style for my socks. When one wears out, I use it for dusting, polishing shoes, etc. When one from another pair wears out, I pair it with the first one and voila, a complete pair again. (Does this makes sense?)

I used to tie them in a knot for the dog as a chew/tug of war toy.

I use to save odd and old socks. I ended up with a laundry basket full that was always in my way. I donated them and now just toss them. With the kids gone I rarely have odd socks any more.
