Mending crochet

[Mabel Figworthy]

Would you believe that some of my stitching is actually - gasp - useful? I do try and mend clothes and other fabrics, especially when they are things I love and really don't want to throw away, but this was my first time trying to mend crochet! DIL had picked this blanket (or whatever it is - she hopes to use it as a table topper) when we were clearing out MIL's apartment, but it had a big hole in it where the threads had frayed through. Could I try and mend it please? Well, it isn't perfect but it's usable now!

As usual a bit more on the process on FoF

I've had to mend crocheted blankets and ponchos and scarves over the years. Not always easy depending on the hole. You did a beautiful job! And how great that will be as a table covering and a loving memory at the same time.

I read you FoF description and am amazed how you managed to get such an invisible result. I see that the colour isn't as exact as you might wish but at least you've made a more than acceptable repair. That lovely coloured table centre will 'live' to be displayed for a good few more years.

I think you did a great job with the mending.

Well Done Mabel.
