My son managed to get a hole in his sock, some snapped thread, I think. So I darned it! Do you see it, on the left, in the foot? 😃

I received the most "old Norwegian grandmother' piece of advice for darning socks today, since my hands start to shake trying to hold a darning egg in place - try using a pestle instead.

Who has a pestle just lying around these days?

I mean, I have two but that's besides the point.

Well it looks like the weather has turned for real this time, so today’s project will be pulling out all the hand-knit socks and darning any holes I find! It’ll be a relief to stop trying to find decent cotton store bought socks in my drawer (spring project will probably be to toss em all out and start over, they just don’t last!).
