Post-Sandy report

The storm left leaves everywhere – in some cases, quite beautifully!

I darned a sock yesterday using a different method (Cookie A’s).  Here is the hole in the heel: Here’s what it looks like from the outside after the repair:I used a different yarn to darn.  The original yarn had no nylon; the repair yarn does.  And here’s what it looks like from the inside: This technique is very interesting.  The patch is partly new knitting and partly duplicate stitch (on the edges).  I will report back about its effectiveness at a future date!

I also got started on Boy 1’s sweater.  Mmmm, gray tweed…
