I’ve just got back from a weekend away, meeting up with a whole bunch of people involved in permaculture. In the whole of the event, the only pictures I took were these:
Before and after shots of a mend I managed on a poncho belonging to one of the other attendees. Perhaps the metaphor is enough… let’s all try to mend the world one little hole at a time.

/ February 20, 2017I must say this is a skill i need to learn. One of my blankets has a hole right in the middle but I have been too scared to have a go at it incase I make it worse!

After that you can do some traditional darning, or you could crochet a flower or a heart or any other shape and use it as a patch sewn over the hole… make it a feature.
