Darn!
Stack
Rose kindly offered to help me attend to a stack of darning…

Eggs and Mushrooms
…and luckily we have a selection of darning eggs, and mushrooms.

Sock Shape
This one seems to be a cross between an egg and a mushroom!

Darning Yarn
We also have a nice selection of Darning yarns, new and old.

Holes
Rose decided to tackle the biggest job first!

Small
After the big stuff, she got going on her own pile…

Ivory Egg
…we have a tiny ivory object, and though we are not quite sure what it’s actual purpose was…

Darn
…but it makes a perfect little darning egg!

Quimper Hittys 
Quimper hittys will stay cozy warm in these pretty blue booties.
Viola will be happy to get her socks back, that’s for sure!
Wonderful skills to have and to share. Such talent! đŸ™‚
We like darning things to make them last longer – there is usually lots of life left in a sock or sweater, just a few stitches are usually needed.
That tiny darning egg is just astounding!! Rose is such a master of the gentle arts. Mending is such a satisfying task… Charming photos as always.
We find mending a satisfying task, definitely – Rose is glad of the little “egg” and also the beautiful basket of sewing materials you gave us!
