Creative Mending
Do you have a
hole in your favourite sweater, or is the heel worn out of your socks? Don’t
toss it! Transform the item into something unique!
Utilizing darning,
embroidery and crochet – you will learn some fun techniques to repair and
embellish your knitwear! In this workshop you will learn basic darning
techniques, how to use patches, basic embroidery as well as how crochet
can help turn that hole or tear into a design feature!
Please bring a few knit
items to mend – these do not need to be hand-knit items and, at least
