Now Streaming: Diagnose Your Damage and Make a Mending Plan

Make a Mending Plan

Whether it’s deciding which mending method to use or which yarns would work best, sometimes these first few steps slow us down (or stop us from getting to those mends altogether). Luckily for knitters, editor Kate Larson has been working for years developing mending and darning tips, and she’s going to share her secrets and solutions with you.

In this exclusive session, Kate will:

• Break down how to diagnose your knitwear damage
• Help you choose the ideal repair method
• Answer more mending questions, such as whether to stabilize your fabric around a hole or whether to work from the back or front of a small hole
• …and give you the confidence to tackle that stash of socks, sweaters, shawls, and more!

If you weren’t able to make it live, no worries! The recording is available on demand, so you can watch whenever a mending need strikes. Just log in below and hit play on the video window.
