We had a brilliant time. A quiet time. More and more 'quiet' equates to 'brilliant' for me. I'm continuing to avoid doing anything for my MA.... which isn't great... Instead, I've been reading (currently 'Remainder' by Tom McCarthy) and learning how to darn socks. If you were given cashmere socks for Christmas, you should learn how to darn socks, too, cos those things will have holes in them after about 3 wears - though if you NEVER walk anywhere in them, even from the bed to the loo, you might get 5 wears out of them.
Hi Gia love your blog! Quiet is good... I empathise on the topic of cashmere socks, I was given some that i really loved and they did indeed grow holes almost instantly - and before i had discovered visible mending. I went to a workshop run by Tom of Holland a few years ago - it was inspiring and delightful https://tomofholland.com/ best wishees for 2022!
I love visible mending, especially if it's to make something you've made yourself last longer. Have a look at hikaru_noguchi_design on IG, she often runs live tutorials in English/Japanese and answers questions as it goes along. Love the coat. Happy New year to you too.
Oh I did wonder what a Vegan was doing with cashmere socks. All understood now. It was a good analogy. I have always mended things.
Never quite got the stitch right on myself.
Lots of love to you.
thank you. It's old hat, but 'don't throw it away, there is no away' is an inspiring attitude. Sue x
I did wonder about a vegan plucking a chicken in France!!
I like the idea of visibly mending things. Nicole Mallalieu has some jeans and stuff she’s mended on her Instagram @mallawho it looks beautiful.
God this post made me happy 😄

Hi, I think you would love my pal Mel Bowles (textiles lecturer at Chelsea) who taught me visible darning and runs Stitch School - worth finding on Insta https://www.instagram.com/p/CNkFs_ln1dm/?utm_medium=copy_link
