Of all the domestic arts in which I am accomplished, sock-darning - TopicsExpress



          

Of all the domestic arts in which I am accomplished, sock-darning is my favorite. My mother-in-law, Elaine, taught me how and gave me my first spools of darning cotton. You can see the socks pictured have had multiple rounds of darning. The brown threads were from my first darning lesson from Elaine. On later darnings I used embroidery floss from my stash so I could get a closer color match. As far as Im concerned the embroidery floss makes a splendid stand-in for darning cotton. I love that I can keep these fun socks in heavy rotation just by weaving in a few extra strands now and then.
