Second darned sock (sh.itjust.works)

I've recently started darning my worn-out socks (shoutout to that one poster who posted a tutorial) and so it's going really well! My socks are still comfy, and the woven patches do the job.

Good for you! I'm so happy to see people repairing clothes instead of tossing them. I got a speedweave and it has made mending even easier.

The uneven different thicknesses do not drive you crazy?
