I'm facing a bit of an emergency today. I just discovered that the majority of my everyday handknit socks are riddled with holes and thin spots. They're well worn but failing in critical spots. Guess I've been too busy designing fancy socks to pay attention to my stash of ordinary wear. Time for drastic resuscitation measures.
Luckily, I recently stumbled upon some great instructions for repairing handknit socks without darning. It allows you to knit a patch right into the sock! Check out the Cookie A blogpost for an excellent tutorial on the technique. I'm going to try it out right away. It has the potential to be a true lifesaver.
