Berry Market aka QuezovercoatlJan 10, 2018

Hello, Mastodon Knitters. I know this is a bit early for #yarnuary week 4 (fixes and mends) but... I knitted these socks for my husband in 2008. I mended them once already but they have since developed multiple holes. I don't know how he did it: he rarely wears these socks and our house is carpeted.

Should I:
1. darn the holes
2. just knit a giant patch and sew it on to the sole
3. vow to never again knit men's socks in fingering weight yarn?

@twotone 3, or at least in THAT yarn. It might have been from an ill-spun batch.

@wednesday I think this was one of those German "not so soft, but tougher than nails" yarns, so probably my husband is really hard on his socks (or the foot lotion he's using is eating through the fiber) 😅
