I received these socks for completing one of the 5k series of races I did in 2014. This pair, and the other pair I got for a different race, have been my exercise socks since then. They were getting a little thin, and I was thinking about replacing them, but along came Creative Mending and this very smart-looking blanket stitch that builds into a web.
So I blanket stitched with Sashiko thread my way around the thin spots and holey spots until I got this.
I’m quite pleased. Let’s see how long these socks can continue on.
