I’ve been avoiding it, but thanks to your tutorial, I have put 2 pairs of darned (just finished) socks back into the rotation. Yipee!

Thank you so much. I have had a fave pair of socks sitting in my drawer for ages!! I’m going to give it a go.

Check out the KnitPicks video tutorial on swiss darning and darning holes. Turn out just like the original knitting. There is also a 20 page book called Flawless Knit Repair by Rena Crockett at Schoolhouse Press. Haven’t tried this yet but have used the KnitPicks tutorials. Just another idea on darning. It seems to be a forgotten art. I am 70+ and remember seeing darning done in some large department stores when I was a very young girl.

i love ur website. i esp love this darning tutorial. all those jerseys, i’m going to salvage one that’s in the throw-away pile right now. what’s really cool … i love the contrasting colours. much more interesting visually and i prefer to see the work of the hand of the maker always. why hide it? awesome stuff.

Wow! I’ve always known there was a way to darn socks, but really didn’t know where to begin. You have made it look very doable. Thanks!

Thanks so much, I have 5 pairs of handknitted socks at the back of my drawer, and did not have the heart to throw them away. You have solved this CRISIS!!! Now if you could do a tutorial of how to pick up the stitches for EZ’s moc socks, as I am at that point and cant get my brain around it, I would be forever in your debt, and will my first child to you!
