My method for darning socks - video link (youtu.be)

I have made a short video showing how I darn my socks, using a netting stitch rather than straight stitches.

It's the first time I've ever made a video & the stitiching is not the finest or neatest I have ever done, but I hope it shows the process well enough to follow.

I've encountered educated adults who do not even know what darning is, so this is great information to have out there. Nice clear video.
