Darning Awls are part of the knitting system. A Darning Awl is used to add a fluff script to a knitted item crafted via knitting needles. Knitted items must be completed in order to have scripts applied to them via an awl. Different awls are capable of applying different scripts to knitted items. The type of script that can be applied by a given awl can be identified via its LOOK or READ. Not all items can have a script added to them by an awl.

Darning Awls were first sold in 2022 at Rumor Woods in the Purls of Wisdom shop alongside other knitting supplies. They have been sold at other festivals and events, typically with scripts relevant to those other festivals.

A pincushion can be used to store multiple awls inside.

Analyze

You analyze the pale white oak awl and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Welcome to the Darning Awl, which will allow you to zest your knitted projects.
You can do this with the following syntax:

WEAVE {my} awl with {my} {knitted-item}

The name of the zesting that will be added with this a pale white oak awl is "Knitted Mittens."

Customization Options:
You can have the material that the awl is made out of changed, but the noun must always remain awl.
You can only give the awl a base change as there is a default LOOK and READ.

Custom Awl Material: pale white oak

Restrictions:
This awl will only work on mittens and gloves.

Additional Information

Some knitted item scripts are currently only available via Darning Awls, while other Darning Awls are capable of adding scripts that are also available as pre-made items sold at fesivals and events. Darning Awls work only on completed items crafted via knitting needles with knitting yarn. Some awls have added restrictions for the types of items they work with due to the script that they apply. Additional restrictions are outlined in the ANALYZE, if present.
