Hubby had been resistant to hand knit socks for years but last winter, just before our trip to Iceland, I was able to talked him into just trying a pair. He instantly became a convert and now is the happy owner of several pair. Yesterday, Hubby came to me in a panic, he'd had a "Major Blow Out" on the heel of his favorite hand knit socks! He wasn't sure how it had happened, it had "just appeared" and somewhat sheepishly he asked if it was possible for me to fix them somehow. Feeling quite pleased with myself, knowing I could fix them, I told him I'd see what I could do...
Because I'd added a contrasting heel, toe, and cuff to each sock it was easy to pick up around the destroyed heel.
I then snipped around the entire heel...
and had a clean area to begin knitting a new one.
Within an hour I had a very impressed and happy husband!
