I had some wool (mostly) socks that I love and are 95% in great condition, but the other 5% was holes/near holes in several key spots. I finally got around to trying darning, and I succeeded, and it's incredibly satisfying to look at and wear those socks. It makes me happy that I managed to turn them from trash into something that'll last another couple of years, and every time I look at them I'm reminded of that. I even chose some bright colorful yarn for the darning, and it just improves the experience even more for me.
