Ugly Sweater Project: Donald Trump




Many fantastic classes hide in the depths of the art building at Saint Mary's College. "Sculptural Knit and Crochet" is one of the gems. In this class, we explored the medium of yarn in different historic and political contexts such as "subversive knitting" movements and "yarn bombing," Our final assignment was to knit an interpretation of the cultural phenomenon of "the bad sweater." Rather than an ugly Christmas sweater, the worst thing I thought of knitting was Donald Trump. I then came to the chilling question: what's worse than Donald Trump on a sweater? Donald Trump as president.
