The second method I tried was to recreate a knit pattern by pulling the repair yarn through the worn fabric, stitch by stitch. Took a while to figure out a good technique, but I eventually got a slow but steady routine using two knitting needles to hold the stitches and a crochet hook to work them.
The patch still has decent stretch & flex, and I like the look of it, although I'd like the start & end edges to be more symmetrical: either both neatly edged, or both subtle.

First attempt at using my new knitting skills & supplies to repair an existing garment.
The elbows on a favourite cozy cardigan were worn thin, but not quite holes. I tried a repair technique I've seen others post, criss-crossing long stitches to build up a decorative woven pattern. It was fun to do, and does look neat, but on a patch this size the result is very thick, and pulls at the sides (the shape was originally a diamond, not a cross). Or maybe I was doing it wrong.

This video was just what I needed to calm down and relax today.

Our kid made up something back in elementary school that worked very well as a #curseWord but I can't think of what it was right now.

This sock now has multiple layers of mends.
Duplicate stitch (in white) for the first layer on the ball of the foot and the mend on the heel (in brown) and then your basic woven darn in brown across the ball over the top.
I think it's just about done though. This isn't going to hold more than a couple more wears and I'm not sure I'll bother with a fourth and fifth mend on these.
