Sampling

Knitting

These are the first samples I have created on the knitting machine. These are rough experiments, just whilst I begin learning the different techniques. I tried to keep the colour palette the same as my weave, using pinks, peaches and whites, however this time I have tried to include more reds and blues to break up the colours, again this is represent the veins in the hand. After playing around on the machine, I really like making holes in the fabric, creating unorganised patterns, this is something I think ties in well with my brief. After looking through my samples I think that I will start to weave into some of the gaps in the knit, creating texture and raised surface, like I experimented with in my weave.
