Textiles Week 12: Darning

  1. Brief Overview of what you did this week, including photo documentation of process.

This week, I missed some classes so I had to catch up on my darning project. It took me three tries to get the footing. Since I missed the demonstration, I was lucky to have my peers around me, helping and supporting me through the project.

2 . Your biggest struggle of the week.

I was eager to begin the project, however the only sock I managed to find was a fluffy Christmas sock. As it turned out, it was much too difficult to see the knit and darn this fabric. The stretchiness of the fabric also made it difficult to keep a tight weave. Next, I used one of Mr. Rossington’s socks, but made the hole too big and it did not fit on the mushroom correctly. Finally, the third time, I was able to make a nearly perfect weave by making the hole more proportional to the mushroom.

3. Your biggest success of the week

My biggest success was nearly finishing my darning project, which I just need to end it and hand it in on Monday.

4. Goal for next week

Next week, I hope to finish my shorts so that I can start my inquiry project the next week. I wanted to complete my shorts this week, but the darning got the best of me. I hope to start my inquiry before the break.
