My first creative mending project of 2023 was this interesting sweater that I got from Fabscrap. I don't actually own any sweaters (one of the downsides of living in a humid subtropical climate), but lately I've needed one when I'm out walking the dogs on colder days.
The sweater was nicely knit, but appeared to have been cobbled together in a hurry (as is often the case with sample garments.) As a result there were a few unfinished seams.
The ends of yarns at color change points were left hanging, too.
I imagine there was to be a row of ribbing at the bottom of the sweater that wasn't stitched on. Oddly it fit me as is, so I didn't worry about lengthening it.
For the mend I sewed together the unfinished seams and wove the yarn ends back into the inside knit. The final result is quite nice, and will be keeping me warm in the last of the cold winter days.
