I can’t fix everything, but I can fix the pants my husband ripped falling on ice on his way home from a city council meeting.

jendefer@swachter That looks really cool. I haven't seen needle work like this before. Does the technique have a name? Is this a form of lace?
@jendefer I’m not sure about a name but it’s essentially concentric circles of blanket stitch, working from the outside towards the center. So the first few rounds are stitched into the edges of the hole, and at a certain point you’re kind of floating the blanket stitch in midair and using the next round to pull it taut until you meet in the middle.
@swachter Ah, thank you. With that name to go on, I can see about doing something similar myself.

Petra van Cronenburg@swachter This web looks so cool!
At the first glance, without reading your alt text, I thought that you filled the hole with pure gold, and I thought of embroidered kintsugi! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
