First week of knitting

The picture above is of a knit sample using different tensions and experimenting with collaborating colours. 

Learning how to knit on a domestic knitting machine has proven  itself to be both enjoyable and at times frustrating. However the difficult nature of mastering these machines have given me the motivation to learn how to use them with ease and use techniques that create beautiful knit work. It takes time and patience to be able to enforce these techniques and I have taken advantage of booking a place at a machine whenever I can. 

I am able to develop my ideas with every new technique I learn, the image below is an example of e-wrapping on top of the piece of knit. This particular technique works well with my overall concept, it can be easily manipulated to create squares, lines and random shapes.
