Knobs.
It's all about door knobs this week.
Why?
Well, I have to do something that I spent too many years not wanting to do.
I have to darn socks. But not any old sock, only the hand knitted ones cos they're special! And just in case you hadn't didn't know, the knob is used to darn the sock with - it holds the hole in place whilst you darn away!
What are you up too this week & have you checked out My Creative Space yet?
Very clever and sustainable and thrifty!
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought knobs could be so helpful?? Enjoy your space today xo
ReplyDeleteMy mum had a special darning knob when we were kids but this is an excellent use of your regular door knob.
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous idea!! I am quite hopeless at darning
ReplyDeleteThat sound very technical :)Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to learn how to darn - how did you learn?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! My nan has a mushroom looking thing that she uses to darn.
ReplyDeleteDarning -its great to see people actually fixing stuff!
Awesome!

fantastic. i was thinking about writing a post on sock darning recently. i have several pair that i love to death but they are worn out. i'm off, knob shopping
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I will try and remember this if I ever need to darn a sock or two :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to say "you learn something new every day" - who would have thought door knobs and socks made sewing heaven.
ReplyDeleteI remember my grandma using door knobs to darn socks. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow clever! :) Very nice idea.
