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.

The uneven different thicknesses do not drive you crazy?

Nope, but YMMV

I like your sock much more than the end result in the tutorial. Hers is more like an fishing net while yours is fully closed. Well done! :)

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.
