It's really easy to do. If you don't have a darning gadget (can't remember it's name) a used lightbulb will do. You use it inside the sock to form a smooth area in the sock where you are darning, and you weave the thread back and forth through the original wool. Use a fairly lightweight but...
I stopped biuying spices at the grocery store - they are SOOOO expensive. There is an online store that's really inexpensive, and shipping is free! Want to know where to go. . . ?

I'm with you. It's sad that we are afraid to share our bounty because there are some that are sue-happy. I'm very careful about who I give eggs and meat to. Most of the people who get my birds, get them live so it's not a big issue.

I get my stuff locally - minimally...
