It is. Did you teach yourself how to darn socks, or was it a skill passed down from family?

The written warranty may tell you.

Most anyone over 50 may know how to darn socks. Patching is for fabric repairs, as in patching the knees of children’s jeans. Darning is repairing holes, or weak spots, worn in knitted pieces.

I know this is an Old School question - Have you thought about darning a hole in a good quality sock that does not have a lifetime warranty?

Great Job! The focus it takes to get even the first draft written is amazing, not to mention the rewrites. You should be very proud!

Reply to BIFL request: cookware that's not cast iron? by AutomaticMistake

I have never used cast iron cookware, not a thing in our family. 20+ years ago we bought the top of the line (non-teflon) cookware set at Costco. I do not see that we will ever need anything different.
