#yarnspeak

so my favourite pair of cargo pants got a hole in the side from a rambunctious puppy. i, being me, picked at the loose threads and tore the hole open over some time until there was a sexy slit down the outer seam. figured i might as well cut the seam out so it’s open all the way, since i’d wanted to flare them anyway.

but then! i had the idea to fill it in with crochet instead of netting, since sewing is not my strong suit.

this was the placeholder. months have passed since.

a week ago i decided i needed to finish what i started, so i whipped out my coolest and second-worst textured yarn (red heart neon stripes!) for a simple triangle insert.

which turned out to not be the case. i have so many loose yarn pieces from measuring the short stripes.

tacked it down with a basting stitch before going over it with bright orange yarn (looks super light in the pic??) and removing the thread
