I always wondered about darning needles and darning eggs, which quite frankly didn't look like that much fun to use. They were also a throwback to times when people needed to darn socks because of the difficulty (finances, time to knit, etc) of getting new socks, and in post World War II consumer society, we just throw socks with holes away. So, I wish I knew more about darning holes in socks, but I don't, so I'm going to have to go with reknitting.</p> Your poor sock!

At least it looks like no yarn is worn through or broken, correct? If so, you can re work the loose stitches and re kitchner them up... I agree with the person who said superwash can be slippery. You really have to weave the ends in quite a bit to keep them secure. Thanks for the continued socktoberfest updates and good luck with the repair!</p> Lolly, it’s hard to tell from the picture but it looks like the tail end of the kitchner stitching came loose and they unraveled a little.
