The Kitchen Table

Socks - Haha. Can You Identify?

last year

last modified: last year

How's this for an "out there" question?

My husband's socks are a disaster. Totally worn at the back of the heel and under the heel. I suggested he throw them all away (he has about 4 pairs, different colors, mostly brown) but he says they're his favorite socks and can't remember where he got them or what brand they are.

So, I'm turning to my trusty Kitchen Table sleuths.

Do any of you recognize these? Quite distinctive because of the stripes on the arch, and they used to be kind of fluffy inside.

(ETA: Sorry for the spacing - I can't get the pics smaller or closer together.

Those look like relatively thick socks. He should be able to find something similar if not the same kind.

Dog chewed my chairs - can you identify this fabric?
Q
Comments (11)
I don't know about finding the fabric, but I know about chewed chairs! We had a Dalmation puppy. We crated him when we weren't home until he could be trusted. So, with the vet's recommended plan of attack, we left him alone for short periods of time. 2 minutes....5 minutes...then 10 minutes. We would actually get in the car and drive away because he watched through the window. In that short 10 minutes, he ate the skirt off our sofa (inc. nailing strips) pulled all clothes out of hamper and chewed socks, pants, shirts. And not my husband's stuff, just mine. Anyway, I believe that he was really mad that we left. And, I can just picture my other dog looking at him thinking *boy, are you gonna be in trouble*! Although I really hate crates, we had no choice. So, one day after locking him in, I guess I missed pushing the bottom tray into place. He pushed the crate bottom out of the way and ate the carpet. It was installed the day before. He was such a great, lovable dog! Just like Gracie.

Can you identify this rare Hydrangea?
Q

Hydrangea scandens ’Fragrant Splash’ "Hydrangea scandens subsp. liukiuensis ’Fragrant Splash’ is a good stab at the correct name for this plant. This selection of the species has speckles to irregular blobs of light yellow variegating the narrow green leaves, giving the appearance (to me) of some of the milder variegated Aucuba selections. Otherwise, it looks nothing like an Aucuba. The stems are thin and splay about, the lacecap flowers are white but sparse having the redeeming quality that the fertile center is fragrant. Only to be cherished by the obsessed collector but available here to all; we don’t judge your obsessions. Height to 4 feet or so. Literature claims hardy in Zones 7-8." http://hydrangea.com/ Gene Griffith and Elizabeth Dean Wilkerson Mill Gardens 9595 Wilkerson Mill Rd. Palmetto, Ga 30268 (770)463-2400 (770)463-9717 fax

Purpe echeveria could be E. purple pearl (I am not familiar with it, probably a new hybrid); or E. Perle von Nurnberg. They are very similar from what I read; differences in size of leaves and few more details - probably hard to detect in etiolated plant. In either case, it should not grow tall and be 'loose'. It should be much more compact. It needs more light than window-filtered light. If kept inside, good supplemental lighting will help keeping it more compact. Emilia Jayne gave very good suggestion about turning it, so it will grow straight - but it will not be compact as it should be if light is inadequate. There is powdery coating on the leaves that should not be rubbed off. It will not kill the plant (it is there for a reason thou); but will not look that great. Try to handle plant as little as possible by leaves (that could be difficult :). Another very similar plant is E. gibbiflora metallica (one of the parents for few hybrids): Plant above is very compact - photo taken right after purchase from a grower. It got etiolated very fast, until I made sure it was put under lights indoors, and lots of sun while outside. It needs to be introduced to increased light gradually, otherwise it could burn. It would be a good idea to pot it into fast draining mix. Very simple one could be made by mixing Cactus and Succulents soil with sifted perlite (or pumice if available) This mix should be used for potting succulents

Some very close thank you! Elmer, I thank you, as well. But I’m not asking so that he can find sometimg similar. I would really like to buy the same thing and, I realize i didn’t say this, include them in his Christmas stocking.

I have some just like those that came from Costco. But it's been quite a few years, they may not be available now.

WOW! How did you all do that? Did you just happen to know the socks or did you google or what? Amazing. I'm buying them on Amazon now! Thank you all for taking the time to help me.

Suzieque, I think it was just luck. I went to Amazon and searched "men's wool socks". I looked through 3 pages but there were so many pages to go through that I decided to check Wal-mart's site thinking they'd have less to look through. I was right, but since they didn't have multiple colors available I went to google and googled the brand. The first thing that came up was a link to Amazon lol. May have taken me 5 minutes?

Kathsgarden, the Walmart site was not really WM. It was a Vendor listing on there. You have to be really careful with WM, most things are from somone else and are more expensive than anywhere else. These were sold by "Deal Genuis, LLC".

Many items on Amazon are being sold by a third party seller too, so it's not just Walmart that does this.

Suzieque, you asked how we found the answers we offered. What I did was to take a screenshot of your photo, then used it to do a google image search. One of the matches was the ONKE merino socks which looked pretty darn close to your husband’s socks. I hope you are able to get something that will make your husband happily surprised with the socks in his stocking.
