tonight, i mended the most charming socks that i own. i wear these all the time. i've only had them since the fall, and they're already threadbare on one foot.













 see the evidence? i lie not:

thank gawd for darning. i love this new skill of mine. i would even go so far as to posit that darning is just as charming as these socks. imagine that people just throw out socks because of holes like this?

from start to finish, this mending job took me 15 minutes. socks saved.
darning. is. the. best.

you know what? me and my charming socks are going out on the town tomorrow to celebrate the new them. maybe i'll even buy them a drink. other socks welcome! (you know...with people in them. ahem.)
