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

Hey! Did you manage to repair it? :)

I honestly have been pretty swamped and haven't even tried yet

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

Now I'm not sure whether that's an actual phrase! There's been a lot to do for me lately, and I didn't have much time for hobbies and relaxation, is what I was trying to say.
