Socken stopfen leicht gemacht mit dem Schlingstich / Darning socks made easy with the buttonhole stitch

My illustration for the »Weimarer Adventskalender« from 2024. And of course the topic of my illustration is again: Sustainability.

Some years ago I started to learn how to repair my clothes by myself. I own a large collection of woolen socks made by my grandma, each pair is prettier than the other. How could I throw them away, just because they had some holes? So I learned different repearing techniques, and tried around a lot. And I think, that using the buttonhole stitch is a very easy and durable technique to stuff holes in your socks.

Repairing clothes for me is one of the most meditative and satisfying activities. Now in winter I always have holes somewhere in my clothes and I just enjoy sitting on the couch, listening to an audiobook, darning and mending. And I feel a deep satisfaction when I once more have managed to repair an item of clothing and can use it a little longer (a tiny victory against capitalism).

By the way it is also a great activity to do with friends together. Sitting together, chatting and darning is not only for grandmas, my grandma says.

So I hope, with my instruction you’ll soon be able to repair your socks by yourself. And maybe you’ll have as much fun as I do.

Yup, The #bonnemaman advent calendar is a solide recommendation. Every day a (very) small jar of jam or similar sweet stuff to spread on bread. Each day a new variety 😋 #AdventCalendar

The #AdventCalendar for #lace this year was a quiz about stamps. The answer has been posted now and you can see lace making stamps from around the world.

Mistodon: @teletextr drew this screen of pealing Christmas bells, 'Ding and Indeed Dong', for last year's Yle #teletext #AdventCalendar, and it was also included in the seasonal new MIST1225 artpack collection.

A pair of patterned, ribboned bells ring merrily in negative space against red and green pixellated merriment

Mistodon: you may feel your ears burning when someone's talking about you, but the effect is only more pronounced when you're a snowman. This one needs to know who's got the frosty gossip! This screen was drawn by @horsenburger for the Yle #teletext #AdventCalendar two years ago, and it was later included in the seasonal new MIST1225 artpack collection.

I have finally completed my #TaskMaster #AdventCalendar :-) Took quite a bit of effort and a lot of help from eldest daughter

Final result of my magpie tarot advent calendar 😊 (I only kept the cards I really loved). It was a lovely idea, I'll do it again next year!

#tarot #MagpieTarot #AdventCalendar #image

A photo of 21 different tarot cards from different decks. Some feature animals like a possum and a raccoon, some feature plants like a douglas fir or a monkey puzzle tree, and some have objects like feathers and rocks. One is Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra for The Empress

Posting a day late as I forgot to post after the fun with the sink.

Day 25

Glenrothes, 11 year old Speyside Single Malt.

Does anyone happen to know what the base is (composition, yardage, etc.) for the 2025 winter advent calendar from A Hundred Ravens? There wasn’t a sticker on my box, and I can’t find the original page I ordered from. The yarn is GORGEOUS, btw.

Mistodon: this garish digital #ChristmasTree was drawn by @pixelblip to be aired on last year's Yle #teletext #adventcalendar. Like a fruitcake, we included it a year later in the seasonal new MIST1225 artpack collection.

The approximate shape of a pine tree is described in colourful binary numbers, punctuation marks and flashing symbols.

Mistodon: this jolly radiology image by @littlebitspace was shown when departing the ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar BBS door. We have now shown its entire slate of daily screens, but it still offers a couple of further unshared illustrations.

Good news, Frosty: the latest round of chemotherapy appears to have been successful and the malignant tumours are in remission!
