The Dreaded Sock Matching Chore

Sick of spending hours trying to match up and pair all your odd socks? I was. I decided that for some reason they were easier to find when they were dirty and just taken off feet so I use a safety pin and pin them together before they go in the wash. They never part then. Then you can, if you like, put them straight away or remove safety pin. I found this a big time saver rather than sitting down in front of an overflowing basket of odd socks trying to pair them. It is also useful for black socks as they are very hard to pair as they look the same. Once paired it is easier to keep them together.
