Many years ago; before we had "distractions" such as TV and computers I 
was quite
good at darning socks . . .  :)

Now, it is my code that is full of holes.

However, I have yet to find an equivalent to one of those wooden mushrooms:

over which I can slip my RunRev code so that I can conveniently get the 
needle
in the right places.

I suspect that recent discussions on this list about something called a 
'SOCKet'
may have some connexion to this problem; although the girls I teach English
to inform me that the 'proper' name for a sockette is a "pop-sock":
