2.2.10. Selection.



This week I am refining my development samples. With some of the samples I need more flashes of red and pink, while others are lacking in range of colour. I aim to address this problem by adding colour through embroidery. The aim is to incorporate this technique once my knits are off the machine when I can judge where and what embroidary might be required.




I have completed few black based knits although this isn't what my initial research indicated. Therefore I need to be minimising the black in my samples, changing the base colour to a lighter yarn or monofilament to more accurately represent those colours from the initial research.



Some of my samples are still overly controlled and patterned. Consequently I am adding more beading and inlaying to cause more disruption, showing movement in alternative ways. In addition I have been making quite small samples and will this week will focus my work on elongating my techniques to create larger samples, to show how they will look on a greater scale.
Finally I will have to consider what works well, similarly taking out what doesn't. Also I aim to  lighten up my colour palette to portray my sketchbook more accurately, whilst also bringing disorder to my overly controlled pattern.
