Like most homes throughout the country we suffer from the lost left sock phenomenon. You put two matching socks into the dryer and only one sad and lonely sock comes back out. (I always just assume that the survivor is the right sock.) This project will gather all of the lost and lonely socks in your home and give them a second chance at life by pairing them with man’s best friend.

I was going through some stuff the other day looking for just the right thing for a project I am going to start soon and I ran into something that brought back some good ole memories; my knitting spool! I remember making a ton of cool stuff with it, at least it was cool in my 12 year old mind…lol. 
We are going to be entering the dog days of summer here in Missouri so I thought I would try to dig up some spools and make one of these for my nieces. I found instructions here. If you happen to have some wooden spools it’s a great way to repurpose them.
