Three things for Sunday

[nwhiker]

1. Perry stayed home to be there for my mom and dh and I went to Julefest as the National Nordic Museum. It was fun. Been there a few times already and the space is limited, so it's the same people each year, but the nice thing is that... the space is limited. The crowds are already a bit much for me, and anything larger would really stress me out. So. Didn't buy much, we usually don't, but was able to see in person the linen summer duvet cover I want. Maybe I'll spring for it, or maybe not LOL.

2. Rosalynn Carter's death is hitting me harder than I'd ever have expected. I just can't imagine how much pain President Carter must be in, and my heart just aches for him. Or maybe I'm just too emotional these days, LOL.

3. Maybe someone can help me with the proper search terms... dh ruins sweaters in short order. For some reason, the right elbows end up with a hole, probably from the way he sits at his desk. The sweaters, aside from that, are in great shape, but... neither of us can repair them. So. I was trying to find someone who could, but either knitters taking on that type of project doesn't exist or I'm not finding the right search terms. I did find a place in LA, and one or two others but I'd expect more hits, if that makes sense. I mean... do people really toss several hundred-dollar sweaters if they get damaged? My other thought was to go to a knitting store and ask the owner, LOL.

for a while instagram fed me posts/reels of people doing "visible mending" so it's definitely a trend. I had a book from the library on the topic, but never got around to opening it. (I have two items of clothing I'd like to repair, they aren't knitting though. And Matthew wants to repair socks.) I'm not saying this to suggest you need to learn the skills, but rather than it's in the zeitgeist so I bet the knitting store owner could direct you to someone who WOULD be able & willing to do it. Or at least point you to an online forum where you could look for local folks to do it.
