The Stuff of Nightmares
Strange beasties occupy a knitter's nightmares.....
If ever there was doubt that it was a long, cold winter, six pairs of hand knit socks in need of serious repairs should be proof enough. Darning. How horrifying.

It's funny you should mention holey socks & darning - I just realized I'm in the same boat, ick.

Cool website. I didn't know how to darn over large holes -- I've been knitting little patches and sewing them in -- functional though not particularly pretty. I also liked the pattern for the water bottle holder. Thank you!

This looks to be an extremely difficult task. Obviously to you it seems easy now but, to make a sock to fit correctly and have the right shape looks to be very difficult.
