Close up of original painting, Oil pastel |
During this week, I have been dedicating my time to creating knit samples. I have continued with the idea of using prints of my drawings with my knits, so experimented with this but found that when actually sewn onto the knits, they don't look very good, they don't look like then should be there, so am going to just present the two together, both knits and prints, to show that that will be an item.

Here is an image of one of my knit samples, I have stuffed a pocket with yarns which are colours relevant to my colour pallet. This is to show the chaotic feel of my paintings, all the marks made with oil pastel, quite scribbly.

Here is an image of the knit and print lay together. I feel that they do complement each other well, and feel that they would look good together as a garment, the contrast of flowing silk prints and more structured knit.
The knitting during this unit I feel has not gone majorly well. I think that my paintings have been very complicated and I liked them so wanted my knits to be similar but that is not possible, I needed to take a quality from them to translate into knit, but did struggle to find this quality. I feel that my knits have been quite simple for this brief, which is not good as my concept has been chaos, however I feel that the way I work is always quite neat and controlled and this is something that I can never get away from, so the way I have interpreted chaos is still controlled, and trapped in certain areas of my knit samples, like the way the pockets are chaos but the rest is quite plain.
