Repair your ever-loved knits in a beautiful way.
With ‘mender extraordinaire’ Tom of Holland you will learn how to deal with big holes in knitwear, covering two techniques: stocking-web darn, and knitted-in patch. Some simple knitting homework for the participants will be sent out prior to the day.
Tom will share examples of his own work for inspiration and discuss the socio-historic aspects of repair, as well as display repair books and manuals, and generally engage in conversations about our motivations of repair.
This workshop is suitable for experienced knitters, who know how to Swiss darn (aka duplicate stitching) and knit in the round. Limited to 8 participants.
All participants are encouraged to bring:
