Do you darn socks?

[dejr_8]

I remember my mom darning socks.

"Darn these socks"
"Yes sir, darn you socks!"

 

[HeyIt'sMe]

I don't but I also remember my mom darning socks.

She'd put a lightbulb inside the sock to have a sewing surface.

Hey, didn't you post the thread about things that you remember in stores from your childhood that aren't sold anymore?

Feeling nostalgic today?

 

[Disney Doll]

No. I throw them away.

 

[1stluvispooh]

Yes I say Oh darn and throw them away! Actually a while back DD would get upset if she got a hole in her sock so I had to darn them. Thank goodness I have a darning stitch on my machine

I get my socks at the dollar store for a pack of three, because I regularly run out of the house and through the yard in them

So nope, I don't darn 'em, I chuck 'em!

 

[disneyjunkie]

Nope, I toss them in the trash and buy more.

I knit and have knit socks, which are actually a fast and enjoyable project. I would be willing to darn (or otherwise repair) handknit socks, which took a bit of money and time to create.

But for normal, everyday socks, I buy multipacks (usually 2 or 3 packs at a time) of white crew socks for each person in our family. When one sock gets a hole, I throw it out, knowing we have a lot of socks that the odd one will match. Heck, I don't even match up socks out of the laundry, because if you pull two socks out of your drawer, the odds are pretty high they'll be the same style and color.

About once a year, the remaining socks will be getting worn enough that I buy 2-3 new packs and toss ALL of the old ones.

I buy them in multi packs, always the same brand so I have lots of mates. lol I give them to DH when they get holes, he uses them to polish his boots and shoes.

 

[SC Minnie]

I will admit that I do darn some of my socks. I have some that I love and can't bear to part with them because they have a hole in the toe.

 

[disney1990]

I don't, but my DH does. He can't bear to throw away anything that can be usable again.

Good golly, I wish I could. Unfortunately, I can't even replace a button on a shirt.

 

[JessicaR]

Not a chance.
