Spent the morning at a #knitting #repair class at Close Knit Yarn. I found a merino sock that I'd been sad to retire to the rag bag after I failed to fix the hole in the toe with needle and thread. Now I've learned how to knit a patch that should hold up much better. The yarn is a little thicker than what the sock was made of, but I can't even feel the difference when it's on my foot. I also learned about duplicate stitches to fix holes in larger knitting. Fun!

I am mutating into my crone form. I have just started a small tin of buttons.

We get some fun and odd things at the Dairsie Repair Cafe sometimes. This is apparently a champagne fountain. #repairReuseRecycle #repaircafe #repairCafes
We're off to our local repair cafe at Buckden Village Hall this morning, lots of people booked in to extend the life of their bikes, electronic devices, clothes and grab a cuppa and a cake at the same time. This is Nat's first time running the event, something she's wanted to do ever since we came across the idea in Devon in 2020.

The latest recycled items are metal shelves for a bench and the cutest little red metal ladder. #RepairReuseRecycle #Allotment

Can these hoses be (easily) repaired? I'm guessing not, but would love to be wrong. If they can't be repaired can I at least recycle it?

Finally completed one of my longer standing tech projects.
Had an old laptop where the motherboard was fragged.
Extracted the screen.
Added a controller board and DIY casing and turned it into an external monitor.
