If they are not ‘darnable’ guess it depends how big and how bad, it would be possible to pick up a complete row around the sock and re knit a toe, my sleep deprived brain is just searching for the term you need to put into YouTube for a film of how it is done! *afterthought toe or heel may help |

Are they toe up or cuff down? Toe up would be harder as its more difficult to unravel from a cast on. If cuff down, put in a lifeline as far down the foot as you want to unravel back to, snip a thread of the graft, unravel back to lifeline, put live stitches onto needles and knit a new toe |

It depends. Yarn weight is a continuum so the thick end of DK will blend into the thinned or worsted. I’d swatch and see if I got a fabric I liked at the gauge listed in the pattern.

Just booked a ticket for this cambridgeliteraryfestival.com I think £14 plus a £2 booking fee is steep for a one hour talk, but at least I can walk there. Trying to find a date Girl can do the Strictly tour with me too |
