tube:sock (Monday project for 4in4)

Preliminary Sock Stack

Hopefully I’ll find some t-shirts at home so that I can complete tube:sock tonight.

UPDATE: Junk Shelf to the rescue! I found a pillow on the junk shelf, gutted it, and added the gross green filling to tube:sock. Here’s the finished product curled up at home on the sofa:
