I remember my mother mending socks but these days they are so often made of mixed fibres rather than all wool and mending est pas la peine as they are usually so thin before the hole appears. Well done on the Make do and Mend front though! Have a good trip to UK and I hope you will find your father in good spirits and well on his way back to health.<br /><br />Jane xMarigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-73921778413259223872011-02-26T08:55:55.100+01:002011-02-26T08:55:55.100+01:00Hurrah - another sock darner :) Though I only have...Hurrah - another sock darner :) Though I only have a mushroom.
