Today I was going to talk to you about the six pairs of socks I darned last weekend…
It took quite some time…
And I began to realise why I’m a knitter and not a sewer.
Because knitting is so much funner. (Can you see the knitting-in nylon holding it together?!)
But then after a day and a half of darning… it was like I made 6 pairs of hand knit socks, I guess that was time well spent.
But more excitingly I have to tell you my niece arrived today. I got to the point where I thought she was never going to arrive!
Just in time to sew on 2 teeny tiny buttons on to the Joey cardigan, then a wee visit and a cuddle with my 9th niece / nephew.
I’m pretty excited about that, and I didn’t even have to do anything!

Congratulations on the new niece! 🙂 Nine! Goodness me!
Thanks Cathy! I know Christmas is going to be ‘spensive!
Congrats! Looks like your niece will be very warm.
I’ve never heard of darning before and it’s fascinating! And you’ve done such a neat job.
Thank you 🙂 It’s not hard, just time consuming to sew over all the stitches in duplicate stitch. Save our Socks!
