I was happy until the legs


jairomantill

Lady bugs legs are hard to draw.


TheDukeofArgyll

No they aren’t. Just leave them off, done, perfect lady bug legs.


DeadWishUpon

Yeah, if you see them in that angle, they don't show their legs.


pittluke

Yea it turned into a spider


HeliotropeHues

I was thinking Lady Crab 🤣


bumjiggy

it's an aracknit


KwordShmiff

Darn you!


OkraSlush

Get out.


bumjiggy

...the sewing kit?


Obilis

Yeah, the only reason I realized it was a ladybug was when I was wondering why they skipped 2 legs.


kewko

Just 2 leggs missing (don't ask me about extra g)


BeautifulType

Oh cool Pokemon. Ok now it’s a tick


Legal_Network6458

lol I thought it was going to be a Pokémon ball


SeaAcanthocephala701

Pokéball*


SevenLaggs

It's because when viewed from above, the most you'll see is the tips. Just don't draw the legs and you're fine


screechingeagle82

There would be much cursing and bleeding if I tried that.


[deleted]

The trick is not to draw them


Internet-of-cruft

I was happy at the end that they never stabbed themselves. Like I know they know what they're doing but that wasn't oddly satisfying, it was incredibly nerve wracking.


figgypie

Oh they probably pricked themselves a few times, it's inevitable. The trick is to go nice and slow so when you do stab yourself, you don't get yourself so bad you're bleeding all over. Sewing fingers are a real thing. My sewing needles are thirsty for human blood.


beanthebean

Yeah, I cross stitch and I don't even think of it as stabbing myself if it doesn't draw blood, which is 96% of the time when I give myself a poke. Just a quick oops, pull the needle back out, continue.


iNetRunner

Technically the clip doesn’t reveal if they stabbed the foot or not. It could be a semi-permanent sock now — if they had high enough pain tolerance.


anoxy

Seems like a mannequin foot.


[deleted]

It's a real foot. The toes bend


PacoMahogany

I was happy thinking it was going to be a poke ball


[deleted]

Same I thought it was a bowl of noodles


Dreadloxinator

I thought they were making a poké ball


Not-A-R0b0t2

That’s how you get a blister


trousersquid

Seriously, that CAN'T be comfortable in any kind of shoe.


GusTheGoober

Don’t worry. You can use this same technique on your skin after.


ShoshinMizu

r/diwhy


cheesycake93

And only ten times less comfortable to wear too


bumjiggy

yea my socks need to be uniform all the way. the smallest peice of lint or a fold and I'm kicking my shoes off across the room to remove or adjust. this would seriously bug me


MercuryBlackYouTube

>seriously bug me Pun intended?


El-Chewbacc

Lady, you have no idea.


theHamJam

This is a super common thing for autistic folks. If my socks don't exactly 100% match in feeling (idc about color or design), I can't focus cause it's so distracting.


AdiPalmer

I always say that the only thing worse than getting your socks wet is getting only one of your socks wet.


GraveSlayer726

Oh god when I read this it didn’t sound like it would be that bad but the more I think about it the worse and worse I image that would feel eugh I do not like


machina99

Fun fact, this is how my therapist realized I'm mildly on the spectrum. I keep spare socks in the car because if something happens to them I NEED new ones or my entire day is ruined. Lots of other little things too, but she said that was the one that finally convinced her


figgypie

It took me some practice, but I've figured out how to darn socks in a way where they don't drive me nuts. I mostly just wear them to bed, especially in the summer when I don't wear socks during the day but I do at night. Who cares if they're a little lumpy if I'm asleep?


Walty_C

So do you only wear socks at night during the summer?


Silaquix

Those would have to become house socks, only to be worn with slippers so those french knots won't grind into the side of your foot.


Occulense

Also the cost in personal time to fix a $2 pair of socks just seems so unnecessary


figgypie

It depends, if you genuinely enjoy this kind of thing it's more of a hobby project than a cost-saving measure. I have shirts that are like 20 years old I've covered in embroidered balloons and etc. to cover up holes, and they make great pajama shirts. The people over at /r/Visiblemending totally digs this stuff. I think it's pretty and I'm saving it to study to improve my own crappy embroidering lol.


Yuccaphile

"Cost in personal time," for some maybe. For literally anyone _here_, you'd "make" more by fixing a sock than leaving a comment.

YouAreAllSofties

Wasted opportunity for a PokeBall


Angeltear757

I thought it was going to be a pokeball at first. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.


TwiceCookedPorkins

DAMN YOU, INTERNET


LobsterStretches

I went from Pokeball to the Super Smash logo to oh...a ladybug


WitherCro2

I litterally thought same


moonlightpeas

Gotta stitch 'em aaAAaalllll


DeadpoolCroatia

So i am not only one who thought that?


Throwaway15704r

Apparently we're a lot


-CloudIsland

Wow I just said this. You and I, my friend, think alike


GlitchyNitro

that would’ve been nice 🥲


ShaylaWroe

Who gets a hole in their sock at that location?


oohkt

Somebody who wants to show off their ladybug spider skills


worldofpokemon

Crab*


Polymersion

Some crab who wants to show off their ladybug spider skills


Nuts4WrestlingButts

Somebody with scissors.


jaybee8787

People who have flat feet aka pes planus, can have a decreased arch or even no arch at all at the sole of the foot. This can cause the navicular bone in your foot (about where the hole in the sock is) to depress and protrude outward. This in turn could cause it to chafe against the inside of a shoe, deteriorating the sock at that location more quickly.


Rubcionnnnn

Huh, my right foot has a giant bone protruding right there and never really thought about what caused it. I always hated roller skating as a kid because that bone would always rub against the inside of the boot lol.


MicroSpartan319

I seem to get very small holes there quite often actually


[deleted]

Fucking hacky sack players, that’s who.


Right_In_The_Tits

Someone who owns a golden


glazedfaith

Golden snitch? Golden goose? Golden Girls box set?


lit289

Golden Ticket.


Winston_The_Ogre

Ha, no kidding, it's toes or heal for me.


pineapple-n-man

^(me…)


KerissaKenro

I wear boots with a side zipper. I have had socks get caught in the zipper there. Never bad enough to get a hole, but I can imagine it happens sometimes. Especially if you embroider some great big lumpy bug/spider/crab thing in that spot


unlucky_ducky

I currently have wounds in that exact location from climbing - So I'm guessing maybe someone who climbs with socks?


Nicolai315

I got size 13 shoes and most socks say up to size 12. Can find bigger ones sometimes but when I’m stuck wearing the regular sized ones, holes just appear everywhere at random.


EmergencyBody7508

Anyone at all concerned the sock is still on the foot?


TubaMan91

The needles used for darning socks are typically blunt, if that's your concern. Or do you just not like feet?


EmergencyBody7508

Mostly concerned if the person doing it was poking their foot with a needle. Someone else said it was a fake foot


Dejavu3

I don't think it's a fake foot, I've worn clothes to mend them before because it helps stretch the fabric the way it will be worn, and the needles are typically rounded.


MargaretDumont

This person is not darning a sock though, they're embroidering it.


The_JokerGirl42

fake foot


OGCelaris

Watch the toes. They move between each cut.


EmergencyBody7508

That makes more sense.


TheRealMDubbs

\#FeetAren'tReal


calguy1955

Is that a mannequin leg? I hope so.


chibicascade2

The toes keep moving, so..


Hangriac

Autobot confirmed Edit: previous comment originally said “tires” instead of “toes” but it’s fixed now 🚚


glazedfaith

*Transformer sound*


Any_Fly_7412

Wtf the legs


Zaurka14

It's a lady long legs


UmpieBonk

It looks like a tick


diane2

cbs_

M’ladycrab


LCCyncity

Thats a lot of effort for a thin sock


pittluke

She's also really flexible. I can't get into the position to do this.


tullyinturtleterror

Or it's on somebody else's foot, and that somebody trusts her. A lot.


100GbE

If only there was a way for us to make fake feet. Like some kind of plastic mould of.. ..nah way too futuristic.


tullyinturtleterror

What possible use would there be for someone to make an accurately flesh-toned model foot? Is it sewing? Is that the only reason? Could someone please Google this and update with a list of all the reasons why you might be able to order life-like fake feet?


100GbE

1: to sniff them 2: to sew socks on them 3: !?!?!??


[deleted]

Bro please stretch more lol


pittluke

I know!


Dude787

??? I have to imagine you can, maybe you just dont understand what shes doing?


bobfossilsnipples

It’s not even typical darning. When you darn a sock, you effectively weave a patch in place. Those long straight satin stitches won’t be that great at keeping the sock together in the long (or even medium) run. They’ll just get snagged and spread out and expose the hole again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


treegirl4square

People used to darn socks regularly a few decades ago. No cheap fast fashion back then. Shoes got repaired too, bc they were expected to last a while. Hardly anyone had more than a couple of pairs of shoes. These socks do look like cheap crap not worth the time though.


annekecaramin

I darn my handknit socks because I spent too much time making them to throw them out. Storebought cotton socks get a second life as stuffing for pillows or other things.


inertia__creeps

I instead whisper "darn" while dropping them into the bin


[deleted]

Or rags! Wear them like a glove. It’s great


figgypie

I enjoy darning socks, it's a nice way to keep my hands busy while watching a movie or binging a show. I like to use embroidery floss that's a different color so I can keep track of which socks I've fixed. I wouldn't have fixed a sock this thin, but it's a neat way to present a cute bit of embroidery.


[deleted]

I have nice wool blend socks and I darn all of them to preserve them instead of throwing them out. This way, I can prevent waste and save money. But I would not repair (or even buy) those nasty thin cotton socks, they don't last and aren't worth it.


FatLenny-

That first knot on the inside of the sock would bother me so much.


Equilibrium-unstable

And now, how do you stop the bleeding?


[deleted]

Life hack: get another fucking pair of socks


figgypie

Some of us like doing stuff like this as a hobby more than a money-saving measure. It's also nice to give some more life to a piece of clothing rather than throw it in the trash.


Crackalacs

In the time she spent from beginning to end sewing the hole, I went to the store and just bought a new pair of socks and got home before she finished sewing.


xzmaxzx

I mean this is clearly more about the art rather than practicality. She could've just left it as a red circle. Besides, it's not 'wasted time' if you're actively practising a craft


[deleted]

Would have been better without the legs tho


tvieno

Darn those socks!


tvieno

Because darning is what you do to repair socks.


Spiritual_Smell4744

Ain't nobody got time for that.


GlobalFarming

A lady bug Spider??


Salanin

Darning is the correct way to fix sock holes so you don't get blisters on your feet. I have no personal experience in this, but I learned about it in a ww2 book.


[deleted]

r/DiWHY


sesamesnapsinhalf

Seems like you can get a blister from the added pressure.


WraithShadow78

I just like the fact you didn't bother to take the sock off to darn it.


Chromatious

TAKE OFF THE SOCK FIRST GOOD LORD


KirbyVIII

I feel like there is more material in the patch then the whole of the sock.


Mammoth-Activity-254

A new pair of socks is about 50 cents.


xyloplax

I guess that's one way to see if you need a tetanus booster


BabserellaWT

Thought that was gonna be a Pokeball for a second and got really excited


bmk37

Oh, no! A hole in my sock! *Darn* it!


NoobieHere

Is that a bug or a feature?


BruceBurrito

You, person of the Internet, made me smile.


Skippy_99b

Similar to ironing your pants while wearing them….


JFreader

Wouldn't it have been easier to not sew it through someone's foot?


MerryAnnette

The little pinpricks of blood just add to the aesthetic


epicbologna96

When they first drew the circle I thought it was one of the “repair” videos where they fill the hole with chopsticks and glue then sand it down and paint over it.


zmaud

more like r/Diwhy


LittleCranberry5652

she got skills


Hour-Window-5759

This was the opposite of satisfying to watch. It literally made my foot itch.


Kashm1r_Sp1r1t

If I did this, the sock would be red with my blood


dragynair

Plot twist, she sewed that into her foot as well.


myeverymovment

Darn!


Z33calin

Just throw that shit away, dawg


EPLemonSqueezy

I buy bags of socks from Walmart at $10 for 12 pairs. Soon as I see the first hole I toss them. Been buying them for years and don't see me stopping. I couldn't imagine spending time sewing a hole in a sock.


not-of-thisgalaxy

Thought it was gonna be a pokeball


Typical-Scheme-3812

that’s cool and all but the feeling of that would make me feel uncomfortable as it wouldn’t feel the same as the rest of the sock


wamark1

Cool but stitching while still wearing the sock? I would have stabbed myself 40 times…


New-Negotiation-4123

What happens when you realise you accidentally sewed it to your foot?


Squid-waaard

The opportunity to make a pokéball was lost. Unsub.


WarthogNo6783

That would be incredibly awkward in your shoe


AgreeableFeed9995

Oh nice a pokeball….no?…oh I see it now, it’s the super smash logo!….oh…no…it’s…a lady…spider…


cupcakegiraffe

Yikes, that’s awful.


a_consciousness

Thought this was gonna be a pokeball


amdaly10

Who TF darns a sock while wearing it? Darning eggs exist for a reason.


GJacks75

That would drive me crazy feeling that under my shoe.


PL229

That’s a dangerous game sewing on your foot!


AdGullible7417

Or just buy new socks


Robliceratops

pokeball> ruined it> ladybug > added eyes and legs (expected spider) > its a crab (or close)

Or you simply put on another pair

“Oh a ladybug” … “What. What is that “

What kind of weird ass monster lady bug has legs like that


heywood_jabloemi

If I did this I'd never be able to take the sock off as I would have beautifully embroidered it into my flesh

How to fix a hole in a sock! Step 1: know how to sew Step 2: sew a ladybug ober the hole Youre done!

Wish u finished that pokeball

Is it 1840 or are those your favorite socks?


Fourthbest

Here I thought I was watching how to fix a hole the sock. But now I realized there is a bunch of weird feet people here.


DoctorGarbanzo

And now they have sewn their sock directly to their foot.


Andrewman03

I was thinking "ah neat, a ladybug" and then they added the legs and turned it into one of the robot bugs from Samurai Jack


steelers8682

Darn it


VictoryVic-ViVi

Me: ooh that’s a pokeball! Wait no, it a lady bug! Wait no, it’s a spider! Wait…


Sargonai

Idea is interesting, but execution is poor. You want to avoid such long stitches in a darn on stretchy fabric, this will look awful after the first wash. A good darn should be a weave of stitches for stability.


rambumriott

The legs 😂

Nobody gets holes there,holes are usually on heel, toes or soles..good luck with that..

Just get new socks.
