I didn't learn to darn this way - I was taught with a decorative
wooden mushroom - you used a 'darning' needle (so called because the
eye was generous enough to accommodate threading wool through it) and
you first made lines of yarn back and forth one way across the hole.

Then turn the mushroom and weave, over and under those threads.

I'm not as "mature" as Sheena & Gill, but my mom taught me this way,
too. Mom didn't have anything as fancy as a darning egg, though. She
used a lightbulb in the sock instead! I actually darned a few of
DH's socks when we first got married!

Aaah, memories!

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
