I don't darn socks, I just sew the hole shut when one starts to form. You value your time? The next time you sit down to watch a TV show, pull out your travel sewing kit and the sock and sew as you watch. You'll be done way before the end of the episode, and you'll have gained value, not lost it.

Spent about 2 hours going to three stores and trying 7-8 pairs, standing in front of trial rooms, talking to cashiers about sizes in the system... before I got the right size and fit.

Could have easily saved BOTH money AND time if only I knew how to patch them. They only tore near the crotch (I am suspecting planned obsolescence).

Your socks have a crotch?

LOL did not proof-read. I wrote Jeans originally, but I think edited it out while I was rephrasing for clarity :D
