Today's semi-comprehensible Ebay listing brought to from Uruypinsk, Volgogradskaja

hand knit socks

I’m confused. Are socks from the dog wool necessary for ALL! or just for people with sick legs?

Sombody set us up the socks.

Shirley Ujest, pray tell us, how did you happen to come across* that * eBay listing?

What about those poor, poor doggies? Will they end up hairless in Russia in the dead of winter? Sure, the seller will sell a few pairs of socks and capitalism will rear it’s ugly head and there’ll be a whole population of hairless doggies roaming the tundra and freezing their hairless butts off!!! The horror!!! :eek:

. . . so someone is probably needing some “hair of the dog.”

Wow. What an odd prejudice I’ve just discovered I have. I’d pet that dog all day long, but I wouldn’t put those nasty dog wool socks on my feet if you payed me.

eeeeewwww.

"…remarkable dog wool - warm and useful (The Caucasian sheep-dog). "

So that’s what “sheep dog” means? :eek:

The real question is: when they get sweaty, do they smell like wet dog?

I burning your socks.

How do you get 43 sizes? Is she knitting for Yetis too?

And from astro’s thread, at least it’s not a bikini.

That dog looks mad.

I found it during my usual cruising for hand knit thingies (as I desperately want to know how to knit and have this deep seeded/seated desire to knit socks that I cannot explain as I can barely crochet two pot holders the same size.) and I found this woman’s ebay sale.

It is genius, really.

With the amazing powers of Google, I found hand spinning your dog hair and other assorted goodies that make the average person go WTF?

I really want to learn to knit now, then I shall raise the furriest dogs evar and profit from their shedding! Mhhhaaaaaahahahahhahaha!

Hmm. Imagine that. Instead of throwing away vacuum bags full of cat hair every week, I should have been saving it and knitting mittens or something. Kitten mittens, maybe.

Nah. They’ll just get lost.

No, the poor thing looks very sad. :frowning:

As much as I would love a pair of those, my sock drawer overfloweth. However… if you figure out the secret to knitting, that would interest me. I can sew anything, and I do mean anything. I’ve done parade costumes, wedding gowns, a golf bag, and even saddle bags for a crotch rocket, but I cannot knit. I start out okay and then it just gets tighter and tighter till I can’t get the needle in the holes.

Ouch and errrrrggh!!
Kitten mittens are a specially designed instrument of torture. I’m sure I have a pair waiting for me in the icier regions of hell.

(devilsknew, allergic to cats since 1988.)

Then you can walk around all winter with a little pussy warming your hands.
