Does anyone else still darn socks?

Yes, I still use a light bulb--lost the darning egg in a house fire--was taught with a light bulb when I was ten.....and I have a ball of darning yarn that is about 50 years old--still good--it was a big one!

I always have and figure if darning a sock can get another few months use out of it, I might as well.
I really find it strangely comforting and relaxing to do.

Never have, wouldn't even know how, but my DH would be so impressed if I did. He always likes to tease me about darning his socks. In reality, it sounds like he wouldn't like it from what some of you have said. He is very picky about how his socks feel on his feet. Maybe I should try it once, just to call his bluff:)

NO, I don't darn socks probably because I hardly ever wear them even in the winter. At my age I don't spend too much time outdoors when it is very cold, just wear my boots for everyday shopping, etc. May in Jersey
