Great Sock Packaging…

Filed under:

— knittingfool @ 3:22 pm

My dad's pine socks packaged and ready to give.

I thought I’d share this fun little tip to all those sock knitters out there… At the larger home improvement warehouses you can buy unused paint cans in the small and standard sizes. Well, a pair of men’s socks fit perfectly into the smaller paint cans. So, in the photo above is the pair of pine socks I knit for Christmas for my Dad. It’s a great way to dress up a gift that isn’t always met with lots of excitement. Plus, the paper will hold up for at least a couple seasons of gifting as well and the can will still be good and can be covered again and again!

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing the tip!

Oh, I love that idea! I’ve always fondled those cans, but
never had an idea for them. Thanks so much for sharing it.
