I'm sure this is a common problem: You take all your newly clean and lovely smelling clothes out of the washing machine to find that the "washing machine has eaten some socks". So your odd sock(s) go in the sock drawer. More odd socks are found and they too go in the drawer. So after a few months, there appears only to be a few pairs of socks and a dozen odd socks.
I am fed up with an odd sock drawer, rather than a sock drawer. So I made a Lost Sock Post. I cut a piece of wood to size and painted on my sign, if like me and at the age of 24 you can't stay in the lines you've drawn use a black marker to go around the edge of your letters to hide that fact that you've made the letters messy with paint...opps. I then painted some pegs and nailed them on the wood. To hang it on the wall I drilled in two holes, threaded some string through and tied to so branch that I found in the garden to secure it - easy as that. Here lost socks can be pinned up by the washing machine, until their counter part turns up. If the Lost Sock post becomes full and no counter parts can be found then it would have been confirmed.....the washing machine does eat all our socks!
