Visible mending of a sweater: 2

Date:

2023

What I did:

I mended this sweater in a visible — yet unobtrusive — way. There were several large holes, and some small. I used a gray yarn, slightly lighter than the main gray color of the sweater, to darn and knit patches.

(I forgot to take "Before" photos, so the photos below are all "After.")
