First darn (and first time using a darning loom) (slrpnk.net)

At first the yarn felt a bit thick, but after walking around in it for a little bit I forgot about it. And it was a bit hard to get the thick needle through the sock. The actual weaving went very smoothly.

I did this then fixed all my socks then promptly forgot all about it until this post. Damn ADHD lol

I know exactly what you mean. I might go down to the river when the weather is better and look for a smooth enough stone to use as a darning egg. I too have a couple socks that need patching.
