Darning Egg

One of my knitting buddies' husband is a hobbiest wood worker. She had a darning egg that he made that I just drooled over.

Well, last Saturday she was so sweet and gave me one.
Isn't it beautiful? He made it out of rosewood and is just so smooth. I have a couple of socks I have to sew up and this will come in handy.

I'll have to ship some socks her way as a way of saying thanks. I know Big Texan wears Men's size 12.5.

I *so* do appreciate this!
