terri, Today's #MarchMending project is socks! These ones had gotten thin but didn't have a hole yet, so I'm using duplicate stitch.
Most common question: can you feel this patch? Yes! But I find after wearing the socks for a few minutes it gets squished and I stop noticing. I've definitely never gotten a blister from a mend (and I'm extremely prone in that spot of my foot otherwise!)
Darning loom from Katrinkles: https://katrinkles.com/collections/mending
(And it looks like they're running virtual workshops if you want to learn how to use one!) The loom works for woven patches but I like it for duplicate stitch too because of the way it stays put.#mending #VisibleMending #socks #fiberarts @fiberarts
Picture 2: duplicate such was started below the thin spot but we're starting to cover that spot now.
Picture 3: finished patch covers the thin part of the sock. The yarn used to patch isn't identical to the original yarn but it's in somewhat similar blues and greens
Picture 4: The same mend viewed from the inside where the original yarn is more visible integrated into the patch.
