  • I'm no darner, but as the holes are so small,. White Rabbit, I'm wondering if invisible darning might be the best way to deal with them.
    Sealed Pot Challenge no 035.
    Fashion on the Ration - 24.5/66 ( 5 - shoes, 1.5 - bra, 11.5 - 2 pairs of shoes and another bra, 5- t-shirt, 1.5 yet another bra!)
  • @white-rabbit_2-2 I think a couple of stitches in a similar colour thread will fix those holes and you’ll not notice any holes.

    Welcome back @CraftyLittleLisa.  Please have a cup of tea and take the comfy armchair by the fire. Hope things are better for you now.  We missed you.

    @white-rabbit_2-2 I think a couple of stitches in a similar colour thread will fix those holes and you’ll not notice any holes. 
    I agree with @CapricornLass and @florianatwobob.  I’m not an expert darner, but I’d use the closest coloured thread I could find, weave it in a small loop around a hole and pull it closed like a drawstring.  Some small stitches underneath should hold it in place.  (@Laura_Elsewhere, do you agree?  Darning is far more in your skill set than mine.)

  • ARRGGGGGHHHHH..... Don't know if it's happened to you, but my signature has reverted to one from earlier in the year! 

    I am not pleased, as now I have to figure out how I got to only having 7 coupons left.  At least I remember that much.

    Sorted!  Two t-shirts and 3x100g hanks of yarn take me back to 69 coupons.

    I’ve now saved an entire copy of my signature in the “notes” app on my iPad, so if it happens again, I can restore it easily.
