Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you will

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you will know that mending and repairing is becoming a must have skill.
If you are gifting someone a jumper this Christmas, pairing it with some mending tools gives a gentle reminder to darn and not discard when the odd hole appears.
Last year I had a go at secretly darning Tom’s holey jumpers and gifting them back to him. Whilst it wasn’t fast, I absolutely loved doing it and they turned out really well.
* Darning and mending takes on a new light when using beautiful tools and the @slowstitchclub wooden darning disc is a joy to use. The elastic band keeps fabric taut and smooth, both important to get a good finish.
* The fine wool of Laine St Pierre is available in 96 shades which makes matching or even better, clashing, super easy.
* @tribeyarnslife are stockists of the Speedweave, an excellent tool for the committed mender. This tiny loom produces perfectly even woven darns that will inspire envy and wonder in equal measure.
* Flora Collingwood-Norris @visible_creative_mending has a fantastic book with beautiful photography and clear instructions on how to create artistic darns that look better than a new knit.
There is also a choice of online classes and demos that explain the techniques in more depth.
* @merchantandmills are renowned for their beautiful sewing tools and this turned wooden case with 10 long, large eyed needles would be a lovely low cost gift together with some skeins of yarn.
* I couldn’t put together a mending gift list without adding a neck light. With the best eyesight in the world, mending fine knits without a bit of help can be a bit of a challenge. Flexible directional light is a huge help. This one is from @hobbii_yarn
* Small scissors are always useful and these sexy little snips from Kelmscott Designs are a nice touch.

If the idea of your mending pile fills you with dread, try looking for a mending class in your local area.
@restoration_ldn & @rove.knitwear both offer classes in Thanet.
Hope you’ve found this helpful.
More gifty guidance tomorrow. Hold tight.

I seem to have struck a chord with my gift guide g

I seem to have struck a chord with my gift guide grizzle the other day. I am often told I am hard to buy for but here’s the thing.
At the ripe old age that I am, I no longer need much in the way of stuff - I am pretty content with my lot and I very rarely ask for anything.
I buy all my clothes via Vinted or eBay and if you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that the contents of our house are preloved pieces that have taken us years to find.
What I can never have enough of are craft materials, yarn, fabric, thread and the like.
You’d think I’d have enough by now but when your daily work involves making, finding inspiration and experimenting, there will always be something that triggers an idea or just makes making, all the more pleasurable.
Over the next week I am going to post a daily board of gift ideas for makers or would be makers.
I thought about the brands and items that I can recommend as a user, flat out love or would love to own or experience. There is vintage, new and experiential ideas that I hope will be of use if you have a creative friend you struggle to buy for.
In the meantime though, I have posted my personal gift guide wish list to remind myself that I am not tricky to buy for - what nonsense.

Bandwidth in sensible and XL scale. Handwoven by m

Bandwidth in sensible and XL scale.
Handwoven by me in cotton on plywood.
The XL version is a feat of physical and mental concentration and I love it all the more because of it.
Off loom weaving is a slow, meticulous and mindful process, not suited to everyone but very well suited to me. #textileart
