Short post cause at somepoint I'm gonna do a post with just all the ones I've done.
Sock darning is so satisfying
Like I'm still not doing it the neatest but I don't really care, most people aren't gonna see them anyway, but I love patching my ace socks with green thread and my aro socks with purple thread.

Found a hole in the toe of one of my handknit socks today- pretty salty about it because I finished these socks less than six months ago, and they are literally my newest handknit socks. Madelinetosh Euro Sock yarn is failing me
Decided to spend the afternoon darning socks (the Madelinetosh pair plus another pair that I put aside last week - one of the first pairs I ever knit has developed holes after 3+ years). Been listening to Stephen King's The Shining on audiobook, since Peacock has been failing to let me watch figure skating
I absolutely love my little 14 prong Speedweve sock darning kit, I tried many other ways of fixing holes with the goal of blending in well with the knitting, but those always took too long to darn and didn't last as long. So I figured I'd go with "having few sock pairs waiting to be darned, but the darning doesn't blend in" over "darning blends in well, but never actually gets done because I hate the process of darning"
Honestly probably should have just thrown out the older pair of socks - first picture is the first sock sole fully darned (I had to weave 6 separate squares to cover all the holes and super-thin-and-worn-down sections), and second picture is the second sock (which I haven't darned quite yet, but shows a much less severe section of super worn-down yarn that isn't technically a hole yet, but will be at any moment if I don't reinforce it)
Also note how new the patched sections look compared to the 3+ year old worn sections - I'm honestly surprised I still even had the remaining yarn after knitting the socks years ago
Anyway, I'm less mad at the Madelinetosh socks now, as the toe holes are super small and easy fixes, and the rest of the sock sole is still in perfect shape. Here's me partially through the process of darning one of the holes on my Speedweve

If anyone is interested in seeing how one can darn socks using various things you may have at home, and other tools.
Darning is a time honored tradition to extend the life of your favorite socks.
Come join me on this livestream!
For the first 20 mins or so I do go into life info, pattern drafting, hat making, and other school things

This one might be a bit hard to see because of the colors, but it's plaid. First attempt at a plaid darn.

It's a cold and rainy day and I've been darning my favorite pair of socks.
Yes, they're "just" commercially made socks but they're my first pair of fish socks and wearing them makes me happy. Which is definitely part of why they're falling apart 😳😩
But, as y'all know, I love mending, and I also finally found this book for sale in person at Rhinebeck, to get some better tips on my mending 🥰
The fake decorative mini pumpkin is my darning tool 🤭

Just yesterday I was bored and anything I wanted to do I didn't have the means to, one thing I felt like doing was mending a sock.
Apart from I couldn't find any with holes in, low and behold what did I find thus morning but a sick with a hole in.
As you can see it's a bit thread bare round the edges as well so I'm gonna do some petals to make it into a flower and the picture will be included in my sock mending solarpunk aesthetic week post.
