Well, I've made more work for myself. A friend of my sister's had holes in a loose knit sweater that she asked me to mend. Not my favorite task. When I finished, she couldn't find where I had mended it. She was ecstatic. At least she paid me for my time.
Now she has a knit scarf with a hole. She offered to pay me if I could fix it. I'm afraid the yarn has been cut. I don't think I'll be able to match the yarn weight or color.
First step is to put knitting needles in each stitch on both sides of the hole so it won't unravel.
Then, tie on some yarn as closely as I can match.
Then, using a crochet hook, work the yarn through the stitches so they are all fastened and won't unravel. Trying to make purl/knit stitch look a likes. I'm afraid this mend will show.
