I'm into knitting and crocheting. I'm fascinated by technique, even more so than I am by end results. Mind you, end results are cool too - just not as cool. I love to teach knitting and crocheting whenever I can find anyone who wants to learn. I know that teaching anything has the potential to be gloriously subversive. But I digress. Knitting and crocheting. Yeah. They're cool.

Sock Darning

Last night I followed the HJS Studio Tutorial and darned the red and orange socks I knitted for K. These socks are made with alpaca wool, which is not at all sturdy but is oh, so comfortable and warm.

She had a hole in the side of one and a worn spot in the side of the other. There was no wear at all in the heels or toes - weird! The darn came out kind of thick just as they described it in the tutorial, and my stitches are a bit wobbly. But I'm happy with it for my first try.

Here are the pics. Check out the wooden darning egg. It's a gift from my sister-in-law. It was her great grandmother's - how cool is that!

(P.S. Another re-run.)
