Surely we've darned for thousands of years precisely because it is practical - as your year old repair goes to show! I love darning - any chance to play with the mushroom! Are you using one too? Love the cross stitch idea - now that is pretty :)Stephiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461286927746997845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-53072728932228889592016-05-16T16:31:48.569+01:002016-05-16T16:31:48.569+01:00That is a wonderful idea Lyn!That is a wonderful idea Lyn!Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-50990591188779923352016-05-16T16:30:47.100+01:002016-05-16T16:30:47.100+01:00I wish my jeans wore out in attractive places so I...I wish my jeans wore out in attractive places so I could use your mending technique on them Kaja.

Her work reminded me strongly of your work. She uses a mending stitch to loosely join wool patches, and now here you are, mending!
