  1. "Yikes!"

    "What did you just say?"

    "I said 'yikes!'"

    "Well, you did not use a regulation 'yikes.' I'm going to have to fine you 300 darns for this subpar yikes."

    "Darn!"

    "Do go on! 299 more times."

    "Darn! Darn! Darn! [...]"

  2. Second go on a darning speed loom...pretty poor finish but learnt you can use it to create small pockets! #darn #weaving #repair

  3. Uproarious hooting heard in the distance towards downtown was not in fact the sound of the revolution starting #darn

  4. Found a hole in the arm of my woollen shirt. I would like to mend it with a bee or a flower, but not sure how to go about it. Any advise, or images of what you have done as inspiration.
    Discovered this is called #visiblemending
    Thanks

  5. so, that’s done. no knitting wip. what to do…

    ah, yes, #darn the smartwool hoodie which always needs #mending (this had no holes in it around the start of december!)

  6. “The verb 'to darn' is explained in my pocket dictionary as follows: 'To mend by imitating the texture of the stuff, with thread and needle.' But this definition does not correspond to the work accomplished by good Chinese housewives. When they mend a sock, they do not try 'to imitate the texture of the stuff'. Their art makes no attempt at concealment: it even takes a certain pride in revealing itself.”
