New use for holey socks

(Zone 5b)

So I have this "issue" with sewing up a hole in my socks and making a little 'bunch' that I can feel either on my toe, or on my heel. So I never sew up my holes. But the rest of the sock is perfectly good! The other day I was complaining to myself that not enough of my nice washcloths had gotten ratty enough to become dishrags (the natural chain of events in my house), so I thought of the socks!

I cut them from the calf-to-the-heel-hole-to-the-toe-hole, and they laid flat, and now I have a whole PILE of new dishrags!

Anyway, just thought I'd throw it out there for anyone who was interested in what to do with those holey socks.

I would have given them to the DH in his garage rag-bucket, but I needed the dishrags this time. He can have the next batch.
