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.
