SUMMARY:STUDIO 24: Weaving Patterns to Repair Knit Fabric Like Sweaters and Socks with Katrina Rodabaugh
DESCRIPTION:Learn to consider color\, line\, and pattern when darning knit 
 textiles like sweaters\, socks\, hats\, and scarves. After you’ve tired 
 the basics of darning\, or plain weave\, you can start considering simple 
 weaving patterns too. By using two or three colors\, you can create tiny 
 weaves that add beautiful embellishment and expression to your knits.  This 
 mending technique can be applied to a wide range of clothing items and home 
 textiles constructed of knit fabrics. It’s particularly useful for folks 
 who have some basic darning experience but want to go deeper with design 
 elements and color.  We’ll cover useful stitches and weaving to make 
 thoughtful repairs with yarn and thread. This is a more advanced darning 
 technique that is still useful for new menders\, and great for weavers. 
 Please bring one clean textile to darn that’s made from knit fabric like 
 most sweaters\, socks\, hats\, scarves\, blankets\, etc.—no woven fabrics 
 like jeans\, please\, we’ll cover those techniques in patching 
 classes.\n\n\nThis Maker-In-Residence program is made possible with funding 
 from the Boulder Library Foundation. The Foundation organizes local 
 philanthropic support for innovation\, capital improvements\, creativity\, 
 and expanded outreach and literacy for Boulder's Libraries. \n\n \n\n\nJoin 
 award-winning artist and best-selling author\, Katrina Rodabaugh\, for 
 in-person mending workshops with the Boulder Public Library. Katrina is the 
 author of Mending Matters (Abrams\, 2018) and Make Thrift Mend (Abrams\, 
 2021)—joyful and practical guides to mending and slow fashion. Visible 
 mending is a series of hand-sewing techniques that combine patches\, 
 stitches\, weavings\, and design elements to make beautiful\, long-lasting 
 repairs. The classes will consider the creative opportunity in mending 
 woven and knit fabrics through careful consideration of materials\, 
 design\, and stitching techniques. All mending will focus on hand-sewing 
 woven fabrics like denim\, linen\, cotton\, and silk or knit fabrics like 
 sweaters\, socks\, gloves\, hats\, etc. Mending is a wonderful way to 
 practice hand-stitching and sustainability by extending the life of our 
 textiles. Simple stitches transform torn or distressed garments and 
 homewares through thoughtful repairs.
