Speed weave / darning loom

 A while back I bought a little speed weave  Here






But I have been to busy to play with it until now. It's a very cool 😎 gadget don't you think 😁  If you never heard of a speed weave, it's a tiny loom for darning.

I had a really good time trying it out. 

This was my first attempt of darning with it 

Not to bad for a first attempt. 

My second attempt turned out a little better 



I don't think it was very fast, and I would have done it much faster using a darning mushroom πŸ„ 

The end result however was much better and it is a fun way to darn socks 🧦 

I'm of course joining Evelyn  for some Mondaymending over at Instagram.


If you haven't listened to the interview with me and  Suzie over at Sew organized style hurry up and listen as there will be a new episode on Friday 😁

I am also making a slow progress on my mother's sweater. It is a lot of work, but it will be worth it in the end πŸ”š 


I have enjoyed late summer and spent much time outside. Today it is more autumn weather and rain ☔ 

Wishing you a wonderful new week ahead

Sew Organised Style podcast

 I have had a long summer break from my blog.

Hope you all have had a lovely summer.

I have not had a break from mending and this sweater is what I have been working on lately 





This woolen sweater was was full of pills and had a few holes and stains. I actually said it was beyond saving... πŸ™ŠπŸ™‰πŸ™ˆ Magic words... I obviously had to give it a try πŸ˜‰

First I gave it a good shaving 

It's very worn and I did make a few extra holes while shaving it, not to mention the job was much bigger than I expected 😝😝😝

It made quite a difference though 😁😁😁

It's still a wip as I am planning to hide all the darns with flowers and beads

And now I'm sitting outside enjoying the last bits of summer and mending 



Today Suzie and I am Guesting over at  Sew Organised Style podcast
