Make Do And Mend


Initial drawings based on the theme of stripes - I collected striped items and painted them expressively, then abstracted patterns, cut the paintings into stripes, and painted more stripes on top.


Hand knitting samples - I experimented with scale, from tight small stitches, to large, loose ones; and used a variety of traditional and untraditional recycled yarns to experiment with texture


Machine knitting samples - experimenting with cables, ladders, and loops.


Design concepts - using colours from the drawings, and around the questions "What could I create with the samples?" and "How could I extend the samples?"
