the little knitter that could
For my parents' 40th anniversary, my brother bought a ton of yarn in several shades of red and I knit them a ruby afghan. My mother still uses it all the time and loves it, which is very gratifying, and alas it now has a few moth-eaten spots, so when I was back visiting after her recent surgery I brought it home with me and now it's out on my ironing board where I'm examining the holes in an attempt to begin fixing them -
- and all the explanations of fixing moth holes in knitting that I can find anywhere on the internets (Dayana's "MOTH ATTACK!" is the clearest to me) are about fixing stockinette, and this is garter, and the first one I'm tackling is close to a seam (the pattern is mitered squares knit together), and I am struggling to adapt the stockinette advice to garter and this project is giving me the wiggins.
