I’m really glad that people are not throwing away slightly damaged things but making them absolutely beautiful. It also makes them very unique and saves resources and money.

That sock 'repair" by the 6yr old was adorable

Once I tore a tiny hole in a brand new top. Repaired it by embroidering a ladybug 🐞 over it. Had a lot of fun wearing it. Even had a lady try to pick it off my top as she thought it was real!

Repairing sidewalks with knitted materials is probably not a great idea. Can you imagine what happens after a rain?

I love this! Thanks!

the earphone pad crochet is an excellent idea :)

The mosaic fix of the sidewalk is great but the yarn 'fix' will be even more of a tripping hazard than leaving the hole, especially after it's got wet and dirty for a few months and is less visible. I understand that the person was probably thinking the bright yarn would fill the hole and clearly warn people that it's there, but it will fade fast in weather and people often don't look down. Stepping on what you expect to be solid asphalt and instead getting squishy yarn can unbalance people, especially those already less steady on their feet like young kids, older people and those with disabilities/mobility issues. When dry, the yarn has more friction on the soles of the shoes which can cause tripping, when wet it's slippery, and in either state the squishiness is going to cause turned ankles. After a few weeks of bad weather it will just look like a muddy puddle and people will step on it expecting that kind of surface under foot, only to be completely thrown off. I also can't imagine any way it would be able to be formed to actually fill up the hole in any way that wouldn't just compress under the weight of a human so it's not filling in the hole so much as putting a carpet in the hole. Your foot will probably still hit the shape of the hole underneath, just now you can't see what to expect. And as for people using mobility aids! Personally I would try to avoid anything like this with my life in my wheelchair if possible but for my partner it's exactly the sort of thing that she would probably catch her wheel on. It would probably be leathal for crutches, walking frames and walking canes! The whole 'yarn bombing' trend can look nice and there's definitely a place for it, but the sidewalk isn't that place. Sidewalks need to be made of a fairly consistent firmness and texture all over (except for parts specifically textured to give signals to visually impaired people such as the bumpy patches by crossings), because that's what makes them safer and more accessible than just having dirt paths. Keep yarn bombing to structures off of ground level and if you want to fix holes in the ground creatively use some of the other ideas in this video like mosaic or something else suited to making paths out of

2:11 beautiful!

This is the essence of wabisabi

I patched my little boy’s jeans knees with yarn flowers.

Wonderful ideas!Thank you

Love it, Thank You.

Wow, such creativity (as well as time and patience)! But, that last pair of pants was a miss for me. Uff da!

Cute and imaginative ideas, but some will not last a week because of weather or vandalism, to name only two of many factors.

Leave the medieval books alone !!!!

I want to know where/how to get the knitting contraption seen at 14:27!!

Straight up and honest, it breaks my heart whenever I see anyone desecrating books ... and I don't care if it's "arty" or whatever - it's just wrong!! 😢

This is making me want to buy jeans with pre-made holes (which I cannot wear to work) and patch them in creative ways! :D Not sure if that's a good thing or not, though. ^^

3:30 Rule #1 for doing that : Work outside, at least 10m from any door or window of any house. Finish by spraying those with clear floor polyurethane. 5:35 Then, watch it getting totally ruined by traffic and the first rainy day... Then, same at 6:25.
