That was an amusing read! ; ) What had you originally expected to happen to the socks?
I've put a lot of 100% cotton clothing in the compost over the years and it definitely disappears quickly, especially under something juicy like watermelon rind. It's my goal to compost all of our organic matter, but it's never as much as I would like. It takes a LOT of organic matter to change very light color soil that is so hard that it takes a maddock to dig a hole - into black gold garden soil.
