i gasped aloud when i pulled these from the wash yesterday. they are among my favorite socks, second only to the purple stripe socks i knit myself. i wear them all. the. time. and now it shows. :(
this is why hand-knit socks are such a labor of love. they wear out. the more you love them the faster they go. i'm so sad. i think they can be fixed. when red rhonda gifted them to me, she also gave me a teeny hank of the yarn. just for this purpose, i'm thinking.
can anyone help?
*sigh*

I think they have darning eggs at Joann's but, I could be mistaken.
Good luck! Let us know how you repair them, because I'm sure the same fate awaits us all...
Oh No!!! Stick that sock on a lightbulb (just fyi, one of those new stoooopid flourescent ones are the wrong shape LOL) and go to town darning it. I have every confidence that you can do it!!!
You need a "darning ball", that's how socks were mended many years ago.
I have a darning ball sweetie, if you need it, I'll bring it. It was my mama's. the picture made me heartsick. I thought the dogs had strategically eaten both socks
GACK! I hope you're able to fix it!
