Knitters/sewers - help!

[IIOY]

My favorite cardigan has the smallest of holes where one strand of yarn broke. Boo! The knit is relatively loose and the yarn is fairly thick. Can I do a small stitch with black thread? I realize it won't look perfect but will it hold? Please don't tell me this is a lost cause - I love this sweater!

Sure - give it a go. The trouble with knitting is when it tears or whatnot, it can unravel (sort of like a run in nylons). Try it - anchoring as much in the in tact stitches around the whole, worst case scenario is you have to mend it again.

Your going to be better off in the long run to fix it properly, but if you don't knit that may be difficult. Here are some instructions on how to repair knits knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/FEATrepairs101.html. Most yarn shops also have/know someone you can pay to do repairs.

Pinks solution is best. The main thing you need to do is anchor each end of the tear so it doesn't unravel.
