so I read up on how to repair it. Duplicate stitch seems to be the way to go.
However, this tutorial downright scared me and I ended up repairing the hole my own way. First I secured the stitches around the hole by doing some sort of stitch. Then I joined the sock material and wove the yarn back and forth and up and down to create a patch. Voila! Not pretty and neat--but it seems to have worked.
When I wore the sock today, I couldn't even feel the patch job.
And what's this?
Will more socks be cast on soon?
More socks = less wear and tear on already made socks = fewer holey socks.

Way to go! I'm afraid I once tossed a pair with a hole. But, to my defense, they were *apple green* and not great yarn. I was glad to see them go. Yours, however, I loved, so I'm glad you found your own way to save them.
Good save! That's what I'd do -- make it work somehow.
"some sort of stitch", you should patent that!
I LOVE that yarn. :3 It is so beautiful.
Bummer about the sock but at least you were able to rescue it.
