Tis true, all you gotta do is make things not have holes anymore wrong fabric, wrong thread colour, don't know what you're doing, none of it matters just make it not have holes you know what I want; mending circles, like a knit n natter but mending, make mending normal and fun
outside of a patched green dresssocks darning on a place on the calf in such a way that it really shows and the other part of the pair mending in two stages on the bottomwinter  socks in brown mended first in something not too unmatched in the center but then later more of it wore out and now there is a bigger patch around the first one in way too light yarn. heel also darned in layers of tan and browntwice patched black and white striped dress first in a floral remnant of something second in a small white patch under that one

The #RippleButtShorts for the Pixie after a wet block #knitting I really could’ve gone with a lot more negative ease on these, and shorter legs. For reasons.

If the things you are making are largely made up of sustainable components, perhaps it’s worth the extra effort to make them completely sustainable. It’s both good for the planet and a creative constraint that can spur innovation and joy in your creative practice.

Black and white image of Iranian author Marjane Satrapi, smoking a cigarette. "The world is not divided between east and west. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Some ribbed knitting with colorful stripes of lilac, aubergine, lime, yellow and forest green sit on thin knitting needles. It looks like it might be a sock.

Swatching to choose the right yarn for my sweater project, the High Lonesome by designer Caitlin Hunter @boylandknitworks.bsky.social
A swatch of dark mustard yellow stocking stitch on a blocking mat with a white gauge ruler surrounding it like a picture frame. Two swatches of stocking stitch fabric are sitting on a blocking pad, the one in the foreground is dark mustard yellow and has a tag on it that says “Rosa Pomar Brusca B580”Two swatches of stocking stitch fabric are laid side-by-side with a lighter colored golden yellow one overlapping a slightly darker one of a mustard yellow. There are two skeins of golden and mustard yellow yarn alongside two twisted hanks of variegated yarn. The top right yarn is labeled Fjallalopi and the one below it is labeled Rosa Pomar Brusca. The two twisted Hanks are very similar, but different and contain red, yellow, teal, and green. They are labeled “dream state” Spjncycle Yarns

Swatching using @kelbournewoolens.bsky.social Lucky Tweed for a sweater project. I’m using 5.5 mm needles for some extra drape. I’m really pleased with the fabric.
An image of some hand knitted gray Tweed fabric on a knitting needle. There are a little flex of blue and pink in the yarn. It is knitted using stockinette stitch.

I mend because: - I can extend the life of my garment, which is better for the planet than recycling, and possibly even re-use in many cases. - I can be creative. - I enjoy defying gender roles around the skill of mending, and interest in it.
