This was a real pleasure to work on. A gorgeous blue cashmere jumper which had gone on the elbows. I used reclaimed cashmere from the brilliant Ministry of Mending to create this geometric pattern in swiss darning (also known as duplicate stitch). Swiss darning really is a favourite of mine, it takes considerably longer than a woven darn but it is so worth it!
