Elena. reviewed Visible Creative Mending for Knitwear by Flora Collingwood-Norris

One of the best crafting books I own

5 stars

I only learned about Flora Collingwood-Norris's work a few days ago and immediately ordered her book. Her work is stunning, and her book is too. It is full of great photos and detailed instructions on a range of mending styles: from darning (weaving), swiss darning (duplicate/ knit stitch), to embroidery - it's all shown with great and beautiful examples. Some of which are even very complex. I find it really helpful to see how she goes about repairing even big holes. If you've got some knitwear that needs mending and you don't know how - this book is for you.
