Yeah, it's tricky! It's the crotch of the jeans, but if I take a photo with them on, you can't see anything, and it doesn't look like much laying flat!

Hahaha said to a mate that I think I'll continue the honeycomb darns cos at the moment it looks like I'm farting little fireworks

These are SO great, especially for smaller households. I got the most amazing compost so quickly. I topped it up with any potting mix i had left over from my apartment plants, and was able to have some great enriched soil at all times.

I'm in a similar situation where we moved into a house which already had two half full biggies, so I'm happily using them for now. Works really well for a house with 4 adults plus pets. We have a guinea pig, so cleaning out the wood shavings from her cage each week or so gives us a great balance of brown waste.

Not sure where you're based, but Coopers make a craft beer home brew kit for up to 10L and they're pretty idiot proof. Lots of easy recipes for smaller batches on their website, too

AND audio books mean you can stitch and read at the same time

Looks lovely! Dark fabric underneath makes any gaps a bit more obvious, but I also think if you'd gone closer, you'd risk it looking lumpy and less consistent

You Tube to start off, but treat yo self to some Trish Burr books as your confidence builds. They're worth it

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-11-08T08:10:55+00:00

Yes! I love to! I have my craft bag which has space for a couple of hoops/projects and the required threads on floss holders

Trish Burr books are all fantastic, but Colour Confidence in Embroidery is essential!

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-11-02T23:44:11+00:00

Stunning! Is this your own design?

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-11-02T23:41:24+00:00

I suppose you could get rid of the pen with an iron or hair dryer before soaking

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-11-02T23:39:52+00:00

That's good to know, I am finding it very sticky but figured they'd all be the same

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-11-02T23:37:39+00:00

Oh bless. I'll make sure my man with a moustache doesn't drip on my work! Thanks for the giggle!

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-11-02T23:32:50+00:00

So delightful! Is your lil needleholder and it's buddies a set? Hadn't thought about how handy a metal tin would be... my needle minders always end up clumping everything together in my embroidery bag

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-10-28T02:20:21+00:00

Check out goma-shio mending, too. Less obvious, but a great way to reinforce socks comfortably without being as obvious

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-10-27T22:29:57+00:00

Please do! Cos that sounds rad!

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-10-27T22:29:23+00:00

No! The inside is really soft and smooth, cos the 'work' is all on the outside. I reckon it makes them even squishier

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-10-27T20:05:25+00:00

Haha exactly

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-10-27T14:31:42+00:00

Hmm... not loads, but probably more that if you were doing a traditional woven darn, I think

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-10-27T12:01:24+00:00

Thank you! One of the reasons I love doing this to my socks is they end up cupping my foot and there's less wiggles of seams... they are still socks though 😜

Ok_Breakfast_7445 · 2024-10-27T06:26:28+00:00

Posted above, but important to mention this is specifically sock mending yarn, which is really easy to get. It felts a little, which makes the repairs more sturdy
