Projects of Last Resort

There are certain things that, when I see them, make me think, "Wow, you must've been knitting/crocheting for a long time, that you've had to resort to making that...  Got a thousand scarves, huh?  Closet's stuffed with sweaters?  All the beds piled high with afghans?  Doilies, placemats, table runners, "casserole coasters", etc. on every horizontal surface?  ...So you started making these..."

This is one of those objects:

The caption:  "Simple chair or table boot protects wood floors from scratches." 

Uh-huh.  Yes.  Yes, I'm sure they do...

What's next-- fork and knife cozies to prevent scratches on your china?
