The Crafting Widower has a pair of holey socks. When I point out that his big toes are sticking out from his socks, he replies that "He's Blessed!". He doesn't want to part with this beloved pair of socks - because he says they are perfectly good. Hmmm...
I've been thinking for quite awhile that I'd like to try darning. I'm reminded of this, each and every time that I see these socks on the Crafting Widowers feet...or should I say every time I see the Crafting Widower's big toes poking out of these socks. But then the socks disappear into the wash, and I quickly forget about darning.
As I was folding laundry yesterday morning when I spotted the Blessed Socks. After a little googling, I found a "How To" video on darning on the internet. The "experts" recommended using matching yarn...but I choose not to. This way I'll be able to spot and admire my handiwork and monitor how my darning holds up.
Bring that mushroom thingy next time your coming our way. We have drawers full of blessed socks. Let me know how it holds up.
ReplyDeleteWill do. We can have hours of entertainment with the sweater defuzzer and mushroom!
ReplyDeleteWhat did the crafting widower think of your handiwork? I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteHe saw my blog post...I don't think he's worn them yet. I'll keep you posted.
