LOL... it's not just the "I made" ones... I think that every stocking I use for faire/SCA has at *least* one darned hole in it... Hmm... actually, I *might* have one that survived the season last fall, though I know its mate didn't.
As expensive as they've gotten (from Amazon Dry Goods, anyway)... and the stress my toes/shoes put on them... holes happen. Darning happens too - thankfully. Of course, it's darned difficult to darn black with black thread... even in sunlight (hey, people darned clothes then... I just happen to be doing so on something not *quite* period, but...).. so most of my darns aren't so neat (not to mention weaving with the needle when it's that close together (hey, they're modern, cotton with a touch of lycra). Never have managed to finish the stockings I bought yarn for about 9 years ago...
