Thanks for sharing this one. I've been doing it for about eight years and recovered lots of my mom's beautiful colors of socks and did a few with socks. You finally described why I found it more time consuming to sew these together but with a better result. I use all types of fabrics and try not to go to Goodwill for a few more colors unless I really want to splurge. My mother passed away twelve years ago and so I have recycled lots of fabric and projects of hers into rugs. I also used my brother's work shirts for a rug for his cat which that cat loves. Once again, I was feeling silly not to get great results with the new sew variety. I did the crochet one too and I want more colors and action in mine than that affords me. Also thanks so much for that spiral cut technique! Way to go!

Thanks so much for the great comments! When my mom passed away about 30 years ago I made a quilt from her plaid shirts, and I'm still using bits of them in quilt projects even now. My cat LOVES these sock rugs! Like to a weird degree. LOL I'm glad the video was helpful. :)

@@WillowPolson i have sold about twenty of them for a charity and given a lot of them to people. Just got a bunch of well worn pillow cases and a red t shirt and a nightgown going at the moment and a few bits of socks for accents. I even make stuffing for stuffed animals out if the scraps. But i really love old tie dye shirts. I'm like a pig in mud then.

If you have "lonely socks without a mate" it may possibly be that one of them is turned inside out and looks very different to the one that is right side out still. (That only seems to happen with non brightly patterned socks, those that are just plain). So with plain socks, make sure you turn them both wrong or right side out before washing, and you won't "lose one". Still doesn't explain how I lost a perfectly good very brightly striped purple sock between the bathroom and the washing machine though...lol.
