darning

When I took up knitting again

(after a looong non-knitting period

and then discovering the beautiful sock yarn

with long colour changes)

I made a lot of pairs of socks.

Now, all but one pair of winter shoes

are big enough to wear home knitted socks :

never again cold feet

(haha)

But lately I discovered some very thin patches,

only the nylon in the wool left !
(hmmmmm ... that's because I always walk on my socks inside the house)

Time for some serious darning !!!

Unfortunately I had nothing of the original colour left

(and nothing close)

Nothing to worry :

as long as I don't put my feet up !

My mother's old darning tool

came in handy

(some more pairs waiting for the same treatment !)

We had no winter to speak of

but in the garden spring seems to be on its way.

Daughter brought spring for inside
