Would anyone like to buy a $10,000 sock?
In response to the bad news (she didn’t win the IL Powerball Lotto on Saturday), I set up an Etsy shop for my sister. She won’t be able to quit her job just yet, but in the meantime if the Etsy shop takes off she can work from home, selling her handknit socks. $20,000 a pair. Okay, I kid, I kid, I didn’t actually set up an Etsy shop for my sister. She really does make awesome handknit socks, and I am the proud owner of two pairs. Those are some of the pairs she’s knitted up, in the mock etsy shop image above. I just doctored up this image because of a story she told me.
She made some socks for a friend and the friend’s husband was so amazed at her skill that he said she should sell them. The thing is, to make it worth it for her, and for how long it takes her to finish them, she said she’d have to sell each sock for $10,000. That cracked me up. $10,000 for ONE sock! I’d like to meet that customer. I didn’t have any pictures of just one sock, so the listings were pairs for $20,000. I am kind of making myself laugh just imagining the heart attack she is going to have when she begins to read this post and thinks I actually set up an Etsy shop for her. Yes, I’m evil, but I hope she also gets a kick out of it :D
Thanks for the laugh. I definitely need it today!! And just in case…if there’s anyone out there that that really is interested in a 10k sock, let me know and I’d be happy to oblige. ;)
I am the proud owner of not one but TWO StatSocks and they are worth every penny Of the 20,000! And in fact they are priceless.
haha! I just realized if Chris will be selling each sock for $10,000, I would be willing to part with any or all 4 of my statsocks for $8,000 a piece.
I did not see this comment till just now!!! What’s up with that?! LOL
