infamous Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 No one is born with it, some never get it, those who get it may lose it in a second, & those who lose it may get it back in time or never at all. What is it? :hihi:Say there my friend, this one is going to be a tough one to solve, me thinks. I've been studying for some time on this one and haven't come up with a good answer yet. Could you give us a little hint, BTW, flower is not the answer to my last riddle. You'll need to try again so I'll reciprocate and give you a hint: 'Something someone might use when repairing clothing'.................good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still stumped Turtle, but I refuse to give up....................I must go into deep thought...............I'll get back with you when I have another answer. ___No; I got it wrong. A 'darning egg', also called 'darning bob' is not a thimble, but an egg or mushroom shaped knob on a handle which is inserted inside a sock with a hole providing a supporting surface for working the darning needle against. Some were plain, some fancy, some wood, ivory, etc.. No one mends socks anymore, or much of anything else. :cup: ___I like making these puzzles much better than solving them. :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have an excuse however, seeing as I'm completely inexperienced in that field of textile repair.
