Patched a really BIG hole in my sock today. Video will be up next week where I discuss why I'm bothering mending at all (and a small rant about Merino sock yarn). 🧦

Latest video is out! I show how I mend a hole in my merino knitted socks and my philosophy on the clothing I wear. This nicely captures my outlook for my channel and what I hope to achieve! 🤓
