A Great Tutorial Which Will Make Your Hand-Knitted Socks Last Longer
A lot of time and effort goes into making a lovely, warm pair of hand-knitted socks. So, when a knitted sock gets worn through, it is worth to try and repair the hole.
Darning a knitted sock can be an art form. Done wrongly, the knitted sock can become uncomfortable to wear. This because a badly darned sock can have lumps and bumps in it.
It is usually either the toes or the heels that first show signs of wear and tear. And eventually, the inevitable happens – a hole has developed!
Jackie at the HeartStrings FiberArts studio has made a great photo tutorial. It shows you, step-by-step, how to repair hand-knitted socks with a knit-in-place patch

Will be trying this shortly
Thus is why I always knit socks top down. When a hole appears in the heel or the toe it can be unpicked and reknitted. My husband had lots of socks with different coloured feet!
Thanks for sharing.
