Lovely to hear from you. Yes darning hole...Hi Mo!<br /><br />Lovely to hear from you. Yes darning holes is a Winter project I think too although darning on pieces of vintage linen in patterns is a great any time creative pass time.<br /><br />I am thrilled you may be at Toddington I will for sure be there as we are meeting friends there who actually are stalling that day as well. Evening out after you see...<br /><br />Let me know if you are going we can catch a coffee and maybe a piece of homemade cake together there and if our husbands are good they can join us! what do you think!? LOL<br /><br />Take care and hope to see you next month.<br /><br />Sarah xxx<br /><br />Sarah Hawkingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765778689390297760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319509641805555635.post-52403687816725638022017-07-27T15:58:08.552-07:002017-07-27T15:58:08.552-07:00Lovely piece of quilt.

I bought a an old darning mushroom a few years ago, intending to give it a go - but truth be told it's more of an ornament !! My mum is a great knitter of socks and I do love handknitted one. Needless to say a few have holes in the heels, so I should really get busy. I do think though, that darning is a winter pastime, in front of the fire! I know what you mean about the weather Sarah, we are going from sweltering hot , to wet and windy like winter, the next! Now, I am hoping to get to the Toddington Fair, so hopefully catch a blether then.

Will put a pic on your fb post as it isn't possible to put a pic on here. I did try to darn a sock many years ago using an old wooden darning mushroom (as I call it).

Wish I could put a picture here to show you....... I was taught to use it by my mum and it is fun to use! I created lots patterns when I was a child, but very recently used it for its proper use! <br /><br />Julie xxxxxxxKC'sCourt!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16768777808237333266noreply@blogger.com
