My neighbor (the one I've made the memory quilts out of her mom and sister's blouses) sent me a text and the photo below.
This is the raveled corner
Jane:
"What is the best way to mend the corner of this throw. It was on the back of a chair in Susan's home (her sister). It had never been used. Now I use it to snuggle with when I watch TV. Just would like it not to start shredding apart."
Me:
Looking at it here (might be different in person) I would say by hand matching yarn/thread either or with a crochet stitch.
Jane:
"Well I don't know any crochet stitches. Thread is fine and I don't care if the repair is noticeable, Just want to stop the raveling."
Me:
I replied I know several crochet stitches that might work..need to see it in person.
***************************
Jane lost her Mom and her sister, Susan, with 16 months of each other.
I knew this was a special throw. As I examined the entire border of the throw, I saw other potential areas that would ravel. I went a tad over board on my repair...
Jane thinks I just repaired the corner. I crocheted a single crochet edge around the entire throw. It is 48" long and 63" wide
Below is the photo of my repair.
I have skeins and skeins of yarn. I selected Lion Brand Yarn, Mt. Rainier Tweed and it is washable. Luckily I had a hook smaller (USD3/3.25mm) enough to go thru the thick throw.
I was very happy to do it for her. She is so very thoughtful and kind.
No matter who is sick or how well she knows them she cooks a complete meal
to deliver to their door.
I finished the edging last weekend. Jane was away at family wedding.
I'll take it to her when she returns.
