· A knit to mend.
· A darning egg or a firm, smooth and convex surface (a small ball, a glass, something like this?)
· Different colours of yarns of a similar weight of the knit to be repaired (one of the colours should match the knit).
· Darning needle, sewing needle + floss, scissors.
· A piece of paper and a piece of cardboard.
· Colour pencils.
Bear with me, this will be fun!
Now I switch to Spanish.

Y bueno, no solo hago caso a la sugerencia de una amiga de hacer tutoriales, sino que también sigo otro consejo y ahora escribo acá también en español.
Anuncio entonces mi primer tutorial, que todavía no está listo, pero estoy trabajando en ello. Será de "Zurcido creativo". Mientras lo termino pueden ir juntando los siguientes materiales:
· Un TEJIDO que necesite remiendo o que esté gastado y en vías de necesitarlo próximamente.
· Un HUEVO DE MADERA para zurcir o en su defecto, un vaso, una botella, una pelotita plástica del tamaño adecuado para insertar dentro del área que vamos a reparar.
· LANAS de colores de grosor similar al del tejido que se reparará (uno de los colores debe ser igual al del tejido).
· AGUJA de lana (punta redondeada), aguja de coser + hilo, tijeras.
· Un pedazo de PAPEL y un pedazo de CARTÓN.
· LÁPICES de colores.
Ténganme paciencia, que esto va a ser divertido!

So odd, yesterday I went to wake my daughter and saw a special blanket I had given to her had a spot cut out. I was sort of upset initially but then thought of those socks of yours which made me smile-
let it go and figure we would have to make a nice patch.
and now this-
can't wait for the follow up:)
super!! que bueno
estaré atenta a tu blog!
abrazo
oh, i love this!
suuper!!
oh i cant wait. this is something i have been meaning to get my grandmother to show me but she is over 5 hours from where i live and unfortunately we dont get a lot of time together.
jaime: oh! did you weave/knit that blanket?
Alita + Sofia + nsm: :)
handmade romance: I'll try to do my best with the tutorial then! It's hard to beat grandmas expertise.
Hello Karen, what a treat to catch up on all you've been up to! How do you manage to do so much?
I love the gift of the pincushions to nature. And your embroidered "weaving" is fabulous. Your new loom is also pretty incredible...it will open up even more possibilities, endless possibilities, really.
The mask...Wow! I love how you re-use cardboard.
And as for darning socks, I am also a darner, using a tiny dried gouard for my darning egg (given my by my mom.) I love the sound its inner seed make when I shake it. Two pieces of equiptment I need for darning are a bright lamp and my reading glasses!
I share your concerns for the folks in Japan.
Best wishes to you. xo
Frances: Hello my dear! Thanks for your comments.
Know what? I'm planning to get a huge embroidery magnifying glass – sometimes good light and my glasses are not enough!
can't wait for the tutorial. my mother used to use an old lightbulb for mending socks.
no-
it was a pendleton blanket i had monogrammed i love you-
but we'll make a little woven patch to fix it-
just wrote about it:

I am ready for mending Karen, with my Laine Saint Pierre!
karine: You know your lasts comments have had a must-google-a-part-of-the-comment for getting the whole meaning (>_<) haha! I don't think I had seen this laine before. Looks so good to work with... and the packaging is simply to die for!
Mis barbé:
