Ffs… I have socks that are still going after many years but Kmarget ones I haven’t had very long keep ripping at the toe.

I just sewed up the hole (using a lightbulb because I don’t have a wooden darning mushroom) and put it back on my foot. Not bothering to darn as the cheap fabric will likely just rip at the edge.

I’d knit my own but the materials are also getting expensive and shitty. Also I massively burned out on crafts over locky d’s

A lightbulb 💡 that is genius!

It’s not perfect but I didn’t want to buy the proper thing

So where's Santa going to leave the treats?

This sounds like an emergency.
