Mending Heels

I figured out a way to fix those pesky holes that socks get after a few wears. All you need to do is to find some matching yarn or something close. Then you pick up stitches several rows above the hole with a little leeway on either side of the hole. Knit away! And only knit. You will be making a garter stitch flap. Knit for a while - long enough to cover the hole. Then pick up stitches on the other side of the hole. And knit the flap and the sock together. Finally, sew down some side seams. Voila! Done and cushy too!
