Things no one told you about buying a darning egg instead of awkwardly stretching socks over old plastic disposable waterbottles: you WILL darn your socks and you might even darn your socks until 2 am and your darned socks will be fabulous

#visible mending #darning #was actually able to use swiss darning because the darn egg made it so much easier #well the fact that i actually have appropriate thread now may or may not also factor in #but at the store i was like...eh...is it REALLY necessary? or do i just want to spend money?#it is worth it #it is so worth it #darned maybe six weak patches in my socks?#just want to keep darning #also turns out my feet are too big for some of the socks because the wear pattern for the heel is halfway up the sock in the colorwork #instead of you know the reinforced heel part #so i need to darn the socks a lot more than i realized #it's kind of funny...my wool socks have shown wear a LOT faster than my cotton socks #but it's probably because i only have two or three pairs of the wool socks and a ton of the cotton ones #(and don't wear the cotton ones to warm up my feet in the house like i do with the wool ones)
