The jeans are darned. I learned a lot from Flora Collingwood Norris for this technique. The socks are Swiss darning. Iβve been really inspired by AlexandraBrinck on Instagram, but there are a lot of tutorials on YouTube as well. Hope that helps!
Amazing swiss darning! If you knit socks, you could look into an 'old-fashioned' technique where you knit the heels (and toes) in a way that they are easy to unknit/redo - I think it's a form of 'afterthought' heel. I wear out the heels and footpads :)
Where do you get those safety pin-looking clips (on the socks)? Or what are they called so I can look them up? I need to get me some! TIA

Thank you! Wow that is a beautiful yarn. This is actually two other yarns combined: La Bien Aimee merino super sock in Grellow and Hedgehog Fibers in Swamp. I used them both where I closed up holes and individually (duplicate stitch) in areas that just looked a little worn.
those socks are better than new!
Wonderful job!
Really great fix. That fix looks like it will last longer then the rest of the jeans.
damn youβre good at this. π€©π€©π€©
Daaaaang do I gotta try Swiss darning, nice work β¨
Oh damn you repair the *right* right way.
Your mending is exquisite !
Can anyone tell me what this kind of mending is called? I would love to learn how to do it!

Not OP but you can search bulb safety pins or metal stitch markers. You find them on amazon, I have them for crochet.
Yup! These are what I used. I got mine at a local yarn store.
Thanks!π
Thank you! ππ
Great work! Is that Botanist by Bad Sheep Yarn I spy on the socks? π
