Still Knitting cogs!

Knitting

The one component that has appeared the most in my visual research is the cog so this seems like a good place to start interpreting my drawings into fabrics. I have started knitting cogs and finding different ways of joining them together. I am really enjoying making these and am pleased with the results so far, even if they do take ages to knit!

Design Seminar

Yesterday I had to present the work that I have done so far to my tutors in a design seminar. This was an opportunity to show everyone what I have been up to and to get feedback and new ideas. To view my presentation click here.

Drawing developments

I have moved on from studying simple fastenings to more intricate joints and components and focusing on how the diferent elements join together. I am really enjoying drawing this subject matter.

Getting started

Here are a few of my inital sketches based on everyday joints and
fastenings.

Final project

The theme for my final project is going to be Join, Fasten, Attatch. I am going to study all different types of joints and fastenings with a view to creating knitted womenswear garments.

Hello
