a triangle lives here

mending

My MiL's moste favorite sweater hooked a paperclip, which nestly snapped one strand. It's double knit, which is fun, and also black, which severely limited the times of day I could work on it. Only a few stitches on the inside needed addressed, so I almost just tacked them down inside, but once I got going I figured I'd do it properly and get 'em all in one continuous graft.

The "needles" are bits of wire I filed the ends into rounded bits--I don't remember what gauge it is; 16?

Every day I get closer to sourcing those specialty 00000 knitting needles I know exist...

a black, yellow, and red sweater with a tear in it. The yellow underneath the black is still holding it together, but many black stitches are picked up with bits of wirethe hole in the knitting is partially grafted back together a black, yellow, and red bit of sweater. There is no hole to be seenthe inside of the sweater; what was black is yellow and what was yellow is black. There is no signlof the hole here either
