Week 5 – Fastening

Since my theme is the organizer I am considering finding material to make something similar to a basket. I noticed some home decorations are made of yarn and wood, which is super natural and pretty. I decided to try something on the yarn and wood.

For the connection between the yarn and wood, I found the screw eyes of the 0 # model. The raw materials are shown below, including solid wood, 4mm yarn, and screw eyes. And finding a piece of wood to learn how to knit the yarn and ensure the feasibility of the connection between the yarn and wood. For knitting, there are lots of tutorials you can find online.

Sketch:

I saw the solid wood into 6 pieces of the same size. And dig a hole to install the screw eyes and the side of the wood which needs to connect to the yarn.

The hardest thing is to make sure where to install the screw eyes and how to knit the yarn to make sure the connection. The FOUR bottom pieces are important, and the “wall” of the basket is easier. Knitting takes more time than I thought, almost spending my 5 hours to finish the piece. I can barely feel my hands after I knit. 😂
