It was all very well for me to
say that I was prepared for damage to
my husband's work jersey. In reality my heart sank when he came in, barely a week after I finished knitting, with a big hole in the front - ''Oh yes, the angle grinder''. I made a patch to cover the hole, making it as unobtrusive as I could. Fingers crossed I won't have to make more patches for a while.
Owwww - is that the new jumper you just finished knitting for him???
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed, Maureen.
DeleteI've had that heart-sinking feel before... not fun! Thank goodness you know how to patch it!
ReplyDeleteI've done it before. Sigh...
DeleteGood thing it wasn't the cabled sweater! But it still had to be a shock since it is fairly new!
ReplyDeleteYou're right on both counts - it would've been much more difficult to match the cables, and I had hoped it would be next winter before I had to do any mending!
