Kona has done it again. She grabbed my gray fuzzy before I could hang it up and chewed two holes in before I could grab it back from her. (She's fast!) Used a chain stitch in a spiral with hemp yarn to fill the void. One down, one to go!

A gray fleece folded so you can see the two holes that Kona, a cat, has chewed in it. The bottom one is partially mended with a pale green hemp yarn being sewed in spiral in chainstitch.

@sbourne oh wow, what a brilliant way to fix a hole! To me, with no fiber skills, it kinda looks like crochet, but with needlework? I don’t know how you did it, but my gosh it’s cool looking!

@MissConstrue I saw it here someplace, but they did use crochet. I was too lazy to go hunt for a crochet hook in the right size, so figured out how to do something similar with a chainstitch! (Feeling pretty clever, to be honest 😂)
