Heads up.
Im addicted to knitting.
I knit EVERYWHERE.
Nothing much to say about how knitting works: just have two sticks and a ball of yarn and you are good to go. I was testing our how would knitting in fashion look like if I did it HAHAH. So here’s a few testers I did.
I tried to make a hairband thingy. This was the very first piece I did in class. (I think) and I tried to knit tighter and a mixture of yarn thickness.
Then I did it in looser knits and created a mesh like cloth like texture. WOW that is a mouthful. (Although I typed it out…)
Here is my attempt at making a weird top for my monsters theme finals? It is sort of a prototype and also very unfinished…at the moment it looks like an empty bikini…
UPDATE (9/3/2017)
I made a beanie with this knitting loom thing I borrowed from Vanessa, I’m sorry to everyone painstakingly knitting away :’) But this is really muccccchhhhhhh faster!!
This is the final product with my grandfather modelling for me HAHA.
REFLECTION:
Knitting is just knitting. There isn’t really a lot to say. You have to understand the fundamentals and the different techniques before you can explore the wide variety of patterns out there. Until now I still cannot read the instructional guides to knitting because the numbers are hard to decipher. But that is something I will work one. One thing I like about kniting is how comforting it is to sit and meditate when knitting. Also installations made with knit are really cool.
FINAL SAMPLE:
Maybe maggi knit one day??
