make do and mend!

Oh no! a hole in my sock! I made these socks back in 2012 and they have been very well worn. Unfortunately a hole has appeared. What to do?

I had a look through my odd bits of left over wool and found the very same yarn - all be it a lot brighter in colour. My socks have faded in the wash, and the wool content has also felted a little.

I took the decision to just cut the toe end off, and pulled the yarn back to a complete round where I could pick up the pattern again and ….

…. just like new! my socks live on for a little longer.
