Well, Darn



I finally had to drag out my nifty not-black sock darning egg to darn a BUNCH of black socks. 

I don't love darning, but I did manage to fix up 6 pairs of socks to live another day in about 2 hours - which is way faster than I can knit!

There are at least two or three methods of darning socks that I know. I tried them all. When I see how well each one wears, I'll probably get around to telling you about it. 

Now, off to wash them all...

Did you try the "knit a patch directly onto the sock" method? I find it faster than duplicate stitch, the other method I've tried. It would be cool if you blogged your techniques. They aren't in your book? TIA

I am very interested in any good "beginner" darning method! My first heel has worn out and I put a lot of work into this pair of socks! Looking forward to the class at the Twisted Loop at the end of the month.

I knit a patch, Swiss darned and made a little woven patch. These methods aren't in my book.
