I’m going to do more of this in 2026: I just finished my first attempt at darning / #VisibleMending. It’s obvious that I didn’t know what I was doing here, but I had fun and I feel like I got less-bad as I went along. Kids destroy pant knees and I’m tired of throwing away otherwise fine jeans due to a blown out crotch or worn-through pocket.

(Obligatory “this is proof I have the patience to stab something 4,000 times.”)
