DARNING End of the Sock of Theseus

Alas, I think time has come to retire a pair of my Socks of Theseus as my toe keeps separating the fibres in my darn at the end. The plan is to use the sock fabric to patch holes in other socks, I think!

This pair has 14 darns between them (I think. Some of them blend together, it could be more!) of varying quality because some of my first ones were on this pair. I bought them some time around 2019 so they've lasted me alright for a cheap pair. And 14 darns means I've sorta avoided sending 14 pairs to the landfill. I am happy with that.
