What do you do if you find a hole in a sock?

Question

Do you ever mend them? :-)

Answer 1

You can darn it if it is not a big hole. If it is a big hole, you can use it to wipe dirt off shelves, etc. before throwing it away.

**darn is a kind of sewing, for those who thought it was a swear word**
Yes, darning is a kind of mending by thread.

Answer 2

I use the sock as a rag than I toss it out. Once in awhile, I make a hand puppet from and old sock and play puppets with my grandson.

I never learned how to darn socks. I can remember my Mother darning socks when I was a little girl, but she never
taught me. I do still have her wooden darning form that she would put the sock on while darning it.

Answer 3

I will buy new socks instead of mending them. I think about mending them and then I get lazy and throw them away.

Answer 4

I keep wearing it until it starts to drive me crazy that my big toe keeps sticking out of it. So then I grab the sock at the hole and pull until it tears enough that all my toes stick out the end. Then I get bored and take it off and throw it away. I live a very exciting life.

Answer 5

Mine are normally 'eaten' by the washing machine (!) well before they have chance to wear out!

I know someone who continues to wear a sock with a hole in over a GOOD sock - what's that all about I really don't know ... just plain weird, lol.

Answer 6

Match it up with the other sock that's also got a hole in it. People will think that's part of the design or the new trend.

Answer 7

What a waste throwing away the sock. Throw away the hole and keep the sock!

Answer 8

If there's a hole in my sock I throw it out because I usually get a hole in my heel and thats a pain in the butt!

Answer 9

If I am in the mood I mend it otherwise I toss it and buy new socks.

Answer 10

I throw it away (or use it for dusting), but I always think of mending it--I even have an old sock darner from my great grandmother.
