Darning egg #2 close-up

This was my mother's. She taught me to darn when I was a girl. I was so thrilled to find out she still had it when she died. You can see the nicks made by the needles used to darn holey socks.

Oh, very cool! I need one of these!

How lovely Kathy! Was your mum Norwegian?

So cool - I have one my grandmother used but it's just a solid color.

@homeschoolmom Lisa, this style is very hard to find. They are very helpful, especially for good (aka, woolen) socks.
@jamibann Thank you Issi. No, my mother was Canadian and her parents were Scottish. I never thought to ask her about the Oslo on this, and now I can't, unfortunately.
@barbtatum I'd love to see it. Do you use it?

[Barb Tatum]

@randystreat I used it in a shot for CY365 in February - is there a way to add a picture on here? Are you on Facebook? No, I don't use it!

That is really interesting!

@altadc Thank you for looking, Alta. I appreciate that and your comment.
