He was beautiful, he ...Oh, Tom Baker as The Doctor! He was beautiful, he was hideous, he was magnificent. That hair, that manly stride, those expressive fingers ... that voice. OMG, that voice must have bedded hundreds ... but I am an old woman now, and this is sounding more and more creepy. <br /><br /><br />As to sock hole repair: I find that taking a doublepoint and picking up stitches just below the dratted hole, and using another doublepoint to knit a tiny patch, is far more effective (and easier to wear) than darning. You can either pick up and knit together a stitch from the still-good stitches on either side of the hole, at each row end; or go back after you've sewn down the top of the patch at the top of the hole, and sew down the sides, too. Weave in your yarn ends inside the sock as per usual. If you have some of the same yarn, use that. Or, be wild and crazily thrifty and use something that is not ashamed to declare itself an honest patch. I re-heel handknit socks like this all the time, as apparently my heels are skinned with sandpaper. A hole in the toe area is just about as easy to repair by cutting off the toe, picking up the good stitches, and re-knitting the entire toe as it is to make a darn. Unless the hole is tiny, in which case sew it up as best as you can. Or embroider a small motif over it. Knitter's choice!Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-29976323222630358902013-05-02T16:20:53.069-04:002013-05-02T16:20:53.069-04:00You do, Reethi!
