HOW TO TREAT YOUR SOCKS AND STOCKINGS WITH RESPECT!!!

Did I get your attention?  One of Marie Kondo's books, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying up, has some interesting suggestions about getting organized.

Have you and your family mastered the art of tidying up?  Do you enjoy your tidy spaces??
How about your sock drawer?   Mine is always a disaster BUT I am going to take Marie's suggestions on learning how to fold your socks.

Do not tie your pantyhose in a knot!!   No, No. Lay the toes on top of the other and fold the stocking in half lengthwise.  Then fold into thirds, make sure toes are inside not outside, and waistband protrudes slightly at the top.  Roll stocking up toward waistband.  If the waistband is on the outside when you finish, you've done it right.  

Fold knee-high stockings the same way.  With thicker material, such as tights, it is easier to roll if you fold them in half rather than in thirds.  The point is that the stocking should be firm and stable when you've finished, much like a sushi roll.

I did try this with my short socks, not knee highs and guess what?  It works, put them in the drawer like a sushi roll and you can fit alot of socks  into that drawer.

Thank you, Marie Kondo, for some wonderful suggestions on socks! Can't wait to read your book.  www.healthyhabitstoday.net   Harriet
