Gosh DARN it, we're having a darning lesson! With @ethanhessler!
Darning is an age-old DIY technique for mending holes in sweaters, t-shirts, socks, and more. Darning amounts to more than repairing: it extends the life of garments and keeps them out of landfills.
Have a knitted item that has holes? Bring it! Otherwise, we have socks for you to practice on.
Note: SMUSH is wheelchair accessible. For any other accessibility requests, please reach out to jccraftingcircle@gmail.com.
