I've wanted to try my hand with darning: socks, sweater elbows, jean knees, etc... and have finally found a tutorial I'm interested in trying. See this Craftzine Blog here for the full tutorial.
I plan on reinforcing some threadbare elbows on a black sweater I retired last year. Perhaps bright orange embroidery thread? Maybe hot pink? We'll see, won't we?

Highly recommended- a darning egg. I have my great grandmother's from Scotland and it's enormously helpful if darning. Here's an ebay link.

Thanks for the tip! There's some beautiful Vintage and Antique eggs there that I might scoop up. I find if items are pretty I'm more likely to use them :)
