    Here's one thing that confuses me about the socks. I have some that I rarely use. One of the problems is that they are really difficult to stretch over the basket. Maybe I have larger skimmer baskets than most of you? I can't imagine stretching a knee-hi over. I am guesstimating the basket mouth to be 10-11" in diameter

    Queen size knee highs are easier to stretch over the skimmer basket than regular knee highs. I buy 3 pair for $1 at Dollar General or Fred's.

    Makes sense--queen sized knee highs for full figured skimmer baskets!

    After you get the knee highs on the skimmer do you take it shopping for shoes?
