Knit technical block

I am doing knit for this two weeks. I feel very frustrating when i first use knitting machine. Made some mistake like forgot to put the weight on. It took me a while to sort out the way i like to work. My knit samples are more 3D.

The two pictures above are my final samples for knit block. I learned how to knit triangle pattern and wave shape and combine the techinque with e-wrapping. 

There is a lot of possibilities of knitting. Knit samples can become 3D structure easier than weave sample. I am very please with my knit block.

Textile exhibition in Alexandra Palace

(Sketchbooks of textile artists)

I went to Alexandra Palace with my friends for the textile exhibition. This is my first time to see the textile show in London. Most of the works are stitch works done by textile
artist.

I really like this art piece which using felt. It is very inspiring. So i might try to use felt in the following project. Stitch is a whole new world to me and it made me so exciting.

first technical block

Weave is my first technical block. I am so happy to study weave first. To me, weave is not very hard but interesting. We learn some basic knowledge of using loom and then develop our design works at the second week. The work in the photo above is what kind of things i done in the first week. Try to use different yarns, treads and looms and i can decide what kind of outcome i like most and how to achieve it.

The two final pieces in the above pictures were done by using block loom. During the second week i more likely to do repeating pattern and colour. I wish i can do longer pieces if there is one more week for us.
