Developing ideas
knit week 2

Entering week two of knit I felt inspired by researching contemporary designers that influence my work. Discovering the bold and innovative knitwear collection of Xiao Li directed me towards thinking about creating an abstract collection of knit samples whilst at the same time incorporating my colour palette and concept.

Texture is another element that I would like to include in my collection, displaying the contrast between thin and thicker yarns and manipulating their properties to create an abstract piece dissimilar to traditional knit samples.

Researching artists such as Rachel Whiteread has inspired me to create a palette that ties with the concept of my work. She as well as Xiao Li uses pastel, chalky colours that coincide with what I'm trying to achieve.
