The Kitchen Table

Socks - Haha. Can You Identify?

last month

last modified: last month

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.

Can you help identify this type of orchid?

Haha. Thanks. I've had a phaleanopsis before-2 actually. Unfortunately, they didn't live. This one, though it was meant for my mom, I want to keep alive! The top flower is angled correctly. So, I must inform myself well and let it thrive! When the flowers drop ( seem to have a problem), do I leave the stem alone or do I cut it at above a node? I will research more. *determination*

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.

I would take the picture to a real paint store and ask them to help (not HD). The local Sherwin Williams here also has all of the Benjamin Moore decks (under counter...hidden, haha).

Can you help me identify this plant please?
Q
Comments (32)
Sorry, palms are definitely not my area :-( A wild guess would be Washingtonia filifera .... I would suggest you start a new post for each plant you need an id for. People often skip long posts because they don't know there are new plants appearing. It looks from a brief skim as if a whole thread is about the first plant asked about. But keep them coming. It's a slow time on the Forum. The succulent in the sand is Carpobrotus edulis. Invasive in Europe, even as far as Cornwall.

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.
