Amelia Bellamy-Royds :progress:<p>The second method I tried was to recreate a knit pattern by pulling the repair yarn through the worn fabric, stitch by stitch. Took a while to figure out a good technique, but I eventually got a slow but steady routine using two knitting needles to hold the stitches and a crochet hook to work them.</p><p>The patch still has decent stretch &amp; flex, and I like the look of it, although I'd like the start &amp; end edges to be more symmetrical: either both neatly edged, or both subtle.</p><p>2/2</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/knit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knit</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DarnIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DarnIt</span></a></p>
Amelia Bellamy-Royds :progress:<p>First attempt at using my new knitting skills &amp; supplies to repair an existing garment.</p><p>The elbows on a favourite cozy cardigan were worn thin, but not quite holes. I tried a repair technique I've seen others post, criss-crossing long stitches to build up a decorative woven pattern. It was fun to do, and does look neat, but on a patch this size the result is <em>very</em> thick, and pulls at the sides (the shape was originally a diamond, not a cross). Or maybe I was doing it wrong.</p><p>1/2</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/knit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knit</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DarnIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DarnIt</span></a></p>
