Can you identify the item pictured below?
Is it a …
a) sock darner
b) marracha
c) herb masher
d) tart tamper
If you guessed (a) sock darner
you are correct!
The domestic diva showed up today.
I rocked this little gadget and darned 15 socks!
By my calculations, I figure around $35 was saved by repairing our (mostly mine) socks.
The sock darner belonged to my grandmother, then my mother.
I’ve used it many times over the years — not as much as I could have. Or should have.
But enough to make me feel domestic (and frugal) every decade or so.
