DARNING Darn!

Post image

My socks always wear out in the exact same place! A mix of darning loom and just regular old darning. I don't know what the circles are called!

Yes they can cause what I refer to as Sensory Bad Time. I usually wear mended socks in shoes or slippers, but not just around the house because then I can feel the difference in texture.

My siblings are amazed I can tolerate it at all 😂😂
