This is right up there with the famous Roz Chast cartoon showing a picture of a dog having chewed a woman's pencil and her peevedly waving the pencil in dog's face. Title underneath read "TINY CLAIMS COURT: DOG CHEWED PENCIL".

So SUE the bastards.

I would stick my knitting needles in my eyes if I did all that work and the damn things shrunk. If I had knitting needles, that is.

I know, right? My first pair of superwash socks felted up when I wore them for the first time. I've been really happy with Plymouth Sockotta.

Thanks for the good laugh today.
It would appear that tippy-toe walking is in your future.

I'm not attempting either venue for blogging every day for a month, but still, that other site sucks balls.

And there's another reason I haven't knit socks. I would totally cry if I did and then shrunk them.

But hm… you could turn them into iPod cozies or something? There has to be a good use for them.

I have no idea if this would work, but apparently it works for diaper covers that have been inadvertently felted … Pour a bottle of cheap white conditioner in a bowl and soak the socks in it. After a while, try gently stretching them. Rumor has it that the conditioner relaxes the fibers to their former shape (or close to it). It won't hurt, anyway!

Congrats on your book deal – you two deserve it and I look forward to buying a copy!

On the sock thing – I machine wash my superwash socks, but I don't put them in the dryer. It's nice to see something you've knit!

Ugh, I hate laundry mistakes. I just bought a nice (and long enough!) pair of Bamboo/cotton yoga pants, and then left them too long in the dryer. Grrr..
