darn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'blast' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'sock repair' is the second definition.
'darn' can be an answer for 'repair' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'sock' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for darn that I've seen before include "Mild oath; repair (socks)" , "curse" , "Repair (sock)" , "Mend a hole in a sock" , "Repair with wool" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
