Dear F-list who knit

[fantasyecho]

If you want to make me socks, please reinforce the heels. I say this because for some reason my boots which are awesome DO something to my socks and I now have 5 pairs of thick woolen stockings with holes on the heels. And some of them have lasted all these years with no problem either, so I am mightily peeved. Seriously it's like my boots have

Time to learn the fine art of darning?

[fantasyecho]

Yeah. But I'd really rather just buy socks with reinforced heels. :P /consumer whore

Are you able to put new insoles in your boots? I imagine that would help save your socks.

[fantasyecho]

This sounds like a very good idea. I shall look for some.

Boots dentata...it's a serious thing.

The funny thing is that the reinforcing part that knitters get when they buy some sock yarn is just a plied thread! Maybe get more socks so that they get some rest in between washes?
