Darned socks are so cute - full of love and character.
Darning itself is a delightful, and satisfying, simple skill. You can enjoy it on its own with deep concentration or mindlessly while chatting or watching telly etc. Mending feels good.
I think of darned patches as a little kiss on the foot from me to my loved ones they carry with them in their shoes.
I like making things last. I like well made socks and home made socks and darning them only adds to their value and helps to justify the expense. It also adds character.
You can make your darning invisible like a lovely secret and you make your darn a contrasting or complimentary colour to announce proudly the mend. Both add character.
I love darning my socks and the socks of people I love.
