A completely new way to darn sox!

Yep, that's just exactly how I darn them. ;) Actually, they make great dust rags once they are too holey to wear anymore. I have a stash of them under the kitchen sink. With ratty bath towels too. ;)

I must confess I used to actually turn DH's tube sox inside out and serge off the holes-in-the-toes (upcurved big-toe-nails caused havoc), so he could continue to wear them for a bit longer. But "darn" heels??? NOPE! ;-> I use his old cotton T-shirts for dust rags, lint free and ultra soft.

Here's how I darn socks:

I throw them in the trash, and say "Darn socks!"

LOL! I wrote my first note before I clicked on the cartoon. Sounds like a lot of do this.

Darned socks are darned uncomfortable to wear, in my opinion!

That's exactly how I darn socks. Best method I know of. DH once asked me why I don't darn socks, so I did one pair for him.He wore them for about

Not if you darn them *properly*; I have to look carefully to tell which of my black socks is brand new and which is extensively darned.

But only hand-knit, pure wool socks are worth the trouble. When a cheap Smartwool sock wears thin -- to the trash; it isn't even a good dust rag.

Might be enough polyester in Smartwool to use as kindling -- but I never build a fire I don't mean to cook on, so I doubt that I'll try that out.

Ah, inflation -- Smartwool anklets have a price I once considered extravagant for a Sunday dress.
