Tonight I am spending a little time on something that isn't SCA clothing. I know, right? But it is a necessary interlude in my textile activities.
Bad news first - I managed to catch my new (commercial) pullover in the zip of my jacket and rip a hole in it.
 |
| Two lousy stitches. |
Good news - I have something in the stash exactly the right colour to mend it!
More bad news - it's proto-yarn.
 |
| Despite appearances, these two objects are the same colour. |
More good news - I can fix that! I have the technology!
 |
| Ah, my favourite spindle. |
I spun up 50cm of a rather fine 2-ply. Didn't bother wet-finishing it because, well, only about 10cm of that is actually going to become part of the pullover, and it's not going to change dramatically enough to make a difference when I wash it.
 |
| Finished but not wet-finished. I'm a slacker. |
A couple of minutes with a darning needle and I'm done!
 |
| Repaired cable is on the left in the middle. |
 |
| Woven-in ends on the back. |
 |
| And from a distance. |
