sock mending

My lovely sock that I knitted back here recently developed holes from my intensive wearing...

I recently procured a darning mushroom...

Which makes the mending - a combo of swiss darning and grafting - much easier...

I used some leftovers from other recent sock knitting for the mend...

All ready for more intensive wearing xo

cushion mend

We have a couple of gorgeous Maiike cushions made from up cycled materials, given to us as a wedding gift from this fellow and his lovely wife. We had a bit of a moth problem last year and I keep discovering holes in woolly objects. I don't mind though... I like practising my darning and grafting and giving the cushions ongoing care through making.
