Darn it!
It would appear that there are enough lurkers on this newsgroup to
hold a conversation after all -- all it needs is for each of us to start a thread. So -- do your hand-knits get worn enough to require repair? If so, what is your favorite method? I have picked up stitches and knit new toes onto socks, but I've never done the bit where you ravel a hole rectangular, pick up stitches and knit a patch, then weave it in at the top and edges. Does anyone here know whether it works? What is your favorite darn? After trying many methods, I've settled on interlocking rows of buttonhole stitch for nearly all knits and some wovens. What do you use for darning wool? I still have a little Medici, and right now I'm using spun silk (Gueterman sewing thread) to darn a pair of wool slacks. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ The above message is a Usenet post. I don't recall having given anyone permission to use it on a Web site. |
