Polkabloom September 2021
A little tear is wearing through toward the most frequently‐touched pocket. I was not planning on repairing it, but I recently received a surprise envelope stuffed with cotton: four little cards of upcycled yarn (sent, on behalf of the gift‐giver, from Not Another Hat). It seems a great opportunity to have go at chain stitch, before I approach the more skittish hole on my Good pants.

The finished darn forms a solitary polkadot (485 kB) on the right thigh. The visible stitches imply the form of a rose.
