tonight, i'm doing a simple mend to one of my favourite pairs of argyle socks. green and brown and white with gold thread! love them! and they match perfectly with a certain argyle sweater of mine, which has an equally charming deep-plunge neckline.


this matchy matchy thing is a fun game.

as you can see from the before pics, these socks, while still awesome, have seen better days.

i could have done a neater mend, but the edges of the holes are frayed - i needed to grab more fabric than i expected to make sure the stitches were well-anchored and stayed put.

i'm excited to have these socks back in rotation!
