Random Craft Day
Sharing some other activities I've been working on.
While back I've made crochet mittens using scrap yarns and this has been lasting FOREVER! I made this in 2020 as I was wondering if crochet mittens vs knitted mittens make any difference with durability.
And it really does!
I've knitted this Candy Cane Mitten in 2016 and it only last 2 years. The part that wears down the fastest is the thumb area cuz of constant gripping on to something throughout the winter. Then also, the upper palm wears down too!
However just this year, with this crochet mitten I had for 6 years finally worn down the thumb area. Everything else looks fine so it is a waste to throw away when I can do small mending to close the hole and revive it.
It doesn't have to be pretty to mend, just give enough life to give purpose again.

Found this fun yarn that Michael's started carrying!
