I worked a lot with producing and working back into my knitted samples this week. Some of them i found to be quite successful and others not so much. I have relied on punchcard and fair isle for my patterns, so this week I wanted to push that and see how far I could take it. Also I want to step outside of my comfort zone of the punch card and work with other techniques the knitting machines have, to recreate my images. I want to look at washing samples to see what effect it brings to my Wool yarn, as well as embellishing them bringing the both aspects together will work well together flow through my sampling fabrics.
I want to spend time refining and figuring what works well and what doesn't, bringing out more depth in the colours in my images to increase colour pallet and range of collection.
Maison Martin Margiela.
Margiela's work is really inspiring and made me think about working in gradients of colour and count of yarn to get the fading out feel to my samples, grading from really dense fabric to thin and light also that making my embroidery parts look like knit. So I am still able to bring detail from my images to the samples. Playing with different tensions of knit so that they go from really dense to thin fabric. Working with different types and textures of threads and yarn to bring a more textured and detailed feel to my samples. Bringing in monofilaments, cottons, metallics, different plus of wool and lambs wool, experimenting with which works best.
