Why wait for time and wear to deliver a mendable object, when you can knit one ready-made? “I adore the look of visible mending on knits,” says Stephanie. “Here, I have knit in sections designed to be woven over. Purl sections recede and leave a line of knit stitches ideal for creating your ‘warp’ and ‘weft’.” It is important to use a thicker yarn for your “mending” or the backing fabric will show through.
