I can sew and darn, and knit from scratch, but I've never re-knit a hole before.

    Use a needle and thread and draw that hole togetherish.

    That's a kind of plan C, plan B being weaving a lil patch of fabric over it, and plan A to re-knit the unraveled fabric. I don't know how to do planA though!

    I'm not sure what it means to be swamped. But I can also be really slow to get crafty stuff done haha
