Hi-Jacs

We've got another round of what's-in-the box for you. This one was brought in by a friend who happens to be a mighty fine collector of random goodies from the 50's. Any ideas? See what's inside below the jump...

Hi-Jacs the King of Coasters! Tube socks for your hi-ball cocktail glasses (aka beer cozies); doesn't that just make you smile?

Our friend didn't have use for them at home but we suggested putting them on display as is...in the box. The colorful terry stripes are such great color combinations....

I expect to see versions of these on Etsy in about 72 hours. They can't be too hard for an experienced knitter to make.

hmmmm, maybe repurpose old socks with worn through toes or heels and good as new tops?
