A list of mending projects that aren’t getting their own notes.
nålbinding new cuffs for sweater
started 2026-02-28, more progress 2026-03-03 (finished the second cuff)
To fix the worn sleeve cuffs on my blue sweater, 3 nålbindning stitches to one cuff rib. I am using the Finnish stitch varient wirh only two loops on the thumb.
2026-02-18 darning socks
- during our morning phone call I darned a large hole in the right heel of a pair of grey wool five-toed socks with dome beige yarn. Then I also did the smaller hole in the big toe, and added some reinforcement in thining areas of the next toe and the ball of the foot.
- This wasn’t enough time to finish eall of the reinforcement this foot should have, and the other foot also needs mending, so hopefully there will be mending time tomorrow.
2025-12-28 mending
- during my morning sisters call I removed the old, much too small pockets from my blue cotton skirt and started putting in larger ones. Worked on them off amd in all day. Finished insetting them in the evening.
- I still need to replace the lining on the waistline of that skirt.
2025-12-20 mending
- I took in the shoulders of my old black cotton knit dress so the scoop neck sits in a bit better, fixed the bit of hem that had opened up, and darned a variety of small holes.
