I tried darning my socks the other day.
Many moons ago my cousin had given me this wooden mushroom to mash garlic, I used this as my darning mushroom
Bought some embroidery thread at the 100 yen shop, they didn't have black, so I bought this gradient blue and gradient orange.
Many moons ago I bought darning needles at the 100 yen shop
Gotta work on my stitching but this was pretty easy to do and it was a nice way to save these socks from the landfill.

I love the thread!
How clever of you to use a kitchen gadget to darn socks. Perfect tool.

awesome! I have a bunch of socks that I am reluctant to throw out.

Awesome Kat!
I end up cutting socks into strips to secure tomato vines, but it's great to be mindful anyway of putting less stuff in landfills... speaking of which (rant alert!), amazon sent me the wrong size of underwear (panties), but when notified, they wouldn't do a return or exchange due to company policy! I did get a full credit on the account, however, they didn't give a hooha if those 5 panties went into a dumpster or wherever. I was so pissed, the individual packaging hadn't even been opened.
me too Jalna :)
I don't use it to smash garlic Bonny, so I'm glad I can put it to use another way :)
I hate when the rest of the sock is still good V :)
Thanks Kirk :)
that is so wrong Rowena :(
Take care everyone.
