Here’s a sneak peek into my current process…
Lots of sampling, measuring, counting stitches, calculating, programming, knitting, notes, record keeping, problem solving and learning.
It’s a slow process!

Mending holes in kids leggings isn’t something I

Mending holes in kids leggings isn’t something I’ve done much of previously. It wasn’t a good idea to ask my 4 year old son for his ideas! I took his requests as inspiration and then just started playing around with different embroidery stitches. Maybe one day I’ll be able to do skeletons or dinosaurs as requested!

Darning is a traditional method for mending holes

Darning is a traditional method for mending holes in knitwear. Your Granny probably knows how to do it, but do you? Would you even bother to do it when clothing is so cheap?
-
Next time you’re going to throw out a jumper because it has a small hole, think about the true cost of your clothes. If you consider the environmental and social costs of that jumper, you might want to mend it!
-
Darning adds a personal touch and it can be really creative. There are endless variations when you start to play with colour and pattern.

Darning is a weaving technique used to cover holes in knitwear. It’s quite simple really and doesn’t take long when you get the hang of it.

Invisible mends in knitwear require a good colour

Invisible mends in knitwear require a good colour match, so my stock of yarn colour cards came in handy for these two jumpers.

I’m slowly getting through my Mend It May pile. How about you?
