Black pilling knit fabric embroidered with colorful French knots

On Instagram, Wendy Ward has been documenting her Wearing Tally project, where she uses Surface Embroidery to make a French knot on her clothing when she wears it. The color corresponds to the season, and she has a special stitch for items she wears on the equinox. The project uses color and quantity (and stitch for differentiating solstice) to represent Clothes data.

This project is explicitly a form of craftivism, making visible her clothing choices and advocating for more environmentally-sustainable fashion.
