My other washing issue is a severe lack of pegs (they blow away on the line because the children don't put them back properly and then the dog chews them up). Good help is hard to find these days:-) I think I'll buy some wooden pegs and dedicate them for indoor sock pegging use.

Freezing hands! No thanks. And he gets them in, in the afternoon. If he is late, then we hang them in the laundry, as we have ducted heating vents and one vent is in the laundry. Perfect for drying.<br /><br />Of course summer line drying is no problem.<br /><br />As to socks, Mr S puts pairs next to each other on the line so he can roll them up as he takes them off. I'm a higgily piggily hanger-outer, and pair later. No sock dolly.

I got angry the other week as they were pretty average and had sharp wire sticking up plus broken pegs so I hit up eBay and purchased 3 of those sock doodads in stainless steel (from China I'm embarassed to say). They will last and they do the job but oh how simple these hangers and pegs are! And how cheap and lower in carbon miles!!!<br />I too love the meet the Amish show although there are times I'd like to throttle the British kids! lol I also missed seeing those hangers. Time to rewatch that series for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-82541150446199197812014-08-07T16:51:20.486+10:002014-08-07T16:51:20.486+10:00Dear Miss Maudy, 67,000,000 socks IS rather a lot,...Dear Miss Maudy, 67,000,000 socks IS rather a lot, I must admit.

Which is appalling of me - but I don't have enough pegs to hang the 67,000,000 pairs of socks the four of us generate in a week! (That's my excuse and I am sticking to it!) <br /><br />Victorian winters aren't much better for the clothes draping necessities. I have four heater vents and five airers and off we go.
