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

If you're interesting in learning or need to resupply we stock darning supplies and repair books.

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!

The holiday is not attached to any state or religious. Anyone can join him wearing an embroidery.

World Embroidery Day is an international holiday aimed at preserving ancient folk traditions of creating and wearing ethnic embroidered Ukrainian clothing.

Happy #Patch Tuesday!

inspired by the frogs chirping from the creek by my house.

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!

Why has the #visiblemending hashtag disappeared?

I can see responses but not a single tagged post, 😕

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.
