Little bit of sock maintenance last night. Darning while listening to some podcasts is a nice way to relax.

Do you remember last month I showed how AI could be used to imitate my work? Everyone preferred my yarn images and suggested I dye sparrow yarn for real, so I did!

Happy #Patch Tuesday!

If you have a favorite shirt that needs a repair, or a bag that needs some flair (see what I did there?)

Decided to take on a big mending project- my favorite sweatshirt dress/nightgown. I'd patched some holes before but the elbows and pockets were just threadbare. So I did a big swatch of swiss darning as an elbow patch and changed colors a couple of times. Now on to the next one!

I got into darning and mending this year and it really astonished me to learn how easy this is to do - not perfectly but well enough - and just… double the lifespan of a pair of jeans or a dressing gown or whatever.
This paragraph landed pretty hard.

I taught my daughter the rudimentaries of crochet, and now she's taken off and has surpassed me in every way. Here's a link to her Etsy shop, if you're so interested. My hands are too big and old to crochet much anymore. www.etsy.com/shop/GrumpyF...

I do love me an icord bind off, even in this nubbly yarn (discontinued Ironstone Felicia cotton and rayon blend). This is the hem of a top down tank knit in the round.

Having watched politics unfold on social media for a decade now, I can tell you one of the failures of the left has been relying on a handful of influencers(for lack of a better term) with a million followers instead of building an army of 100k of us to to do the heavy lifting.

Mending day! A couple of our jumpers had worn holes and needed fixing. I’ve watched heaps of those videos of invisible darning, so I gave it a shot. I used sewing thread to provide a scaffolding and then Swiss darned over the top. Very pleased with the results! Hardly noticeable. 😍🧶 #knitting

This is my latest photo restoration. The most complicated one I have done so far. And the one I am most proud of.
