Ok I can honestly say that I do not love these socks. I am the one who convinced MrB to crank -out a pair of tube socks. I thought we should have one pair for market in case there is that one person who desperately wants a pair of socks and we don't have their size. They just have to put a smile on your face, they are so ugly, oh my, yup I actually said that! I remember when my two boys were growing up how they both loved their tube socks ......they were great athletes in many sports and the tube socks went to many a hockey game, basketball game, soccer game, martial arts and riding lessons, biking riding, road hockey, skating, sledding, fishing you name it, they went along too. Maybe someone will like these just for the nostalgia of again owning another pair of modern tube socks? It will not hurt our feelings if one one buys them :-). They will just be unravelled and made into a brand new pair...the conveniences of yarn to be used all over again. I call them test tubes because it was just a test, msb, just had to see a pair! OK I see you smiling too!
