I got a lot of good use out of these, my first pair of hand knit socks. I will miss then always.

Tragedy
A moment of silence please for the first casualty of my sock knitting. I knew this day would come but it doesn't make it any easier.

That hurts to see the hole in your beautiful socks. Is there no way that they can be mended? Betty Lou
I haven't had that happen yet, but I know it's coming.
Oh dang. Bummer. Total bummer. Sorry friend. Maybe we can practice the art of darning socks now?
Is darning a long lost art?
I agree with Karen. What a bummer.
A moment of silence...
now get knitting!
aaawwww, a sad day indeed! But then, better to wear them out than to leave them in a drawer never to be used!
I vote for darning them, I did that to my favorite handknit socks and it gave them new life!
I learned how on youtube. I probably even blogged about it.
oh no! Can you try this technique:

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

aaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhh
Ouch - that hurts.
My first pair of socks were knit in 2003 with Regia sock yarn and are still going strong after all these years of ongoing use!
(I've lost 3 pair of non-nylon-reinforced socks though :-(
good thing you're making another pair during the Olympics, right? I decided on a sweater.
aw, so sad. I know my days are numbered too - consider it a sign of being well loved!
