Visibly mended jumper
- Who repaired it?
i_did
- How long did the repair take?
2 hours
- How much did it cost?
Nothing. I used wool that I already had.
- How was the object repaired?
Using a variety of darning techniques and just ‘winging it’
- Why did you repair the object?
I love to knit so I think it is important to learn how to repair the knitted pieces I own and make. Also, as I live abroad, this aran jumper reminds me of home.
- What would be important to you to be included in a Repair Declaration for Ireland?
Use a repair project as an opportunity to learn a new skill, then even if it doesn't work, it has still been a useful experience. Also, by making the mend deliberately visible you can add to the character and history of the item.
