I usually grab a handful of socks from my drawer when I'm heading out to teach a sock knitting class. I've been asked often enough how many pairs of hand-knitted socks I've got.Since it's summer, and none of them are in the laundry, now's the time to get an accurate count.
16 pairs of socks -- all my own work -- are in regular circulation in my sock drawer.Including the latest pair.
Yes, I'm in the tub.I think I've already mentioned this before, but my foolproof method for blocking socks is to get them wet and then put them on. I don't actually leave them on -- just get 'em on and off and then let 'em dry. Easy.
The other night I was having a nice, soothing bath. And I had a pair of socks sitting on the counter in the bathroom, waiting to be blocked.
There I was, in the tub, looking at the socks. Hey, my feet were already wet -- why the heck not? A pair of perfectly blocked socks and a story my husband will be telling for years...

Oh I dream of someday owning a whole drawer full of handknit socks! I'm working on it but I'm not there yet!
I love your blocking idea - Ravelry has its benefits but I only learn about ideas like that one on blogs!
