Continuation of garment fronts-knitting up fronts of most successful samples till I am happy with the shape
Continuation of V necks-Practicing attaching trims to perfect the technique whilst experimenting with different yarns and thicknesses
Attaching samples using trims-Upload pics and develop

crossover v neck

Trying to create a v neck using sandwich trims-pinning different positions to see what kind of v neck I like

# data[].attributes.body
X-length more successful
X-shoulders need to be wider
X-V neck still not pronounced enough?

# data[].attributes.body
X-sample length too long
X-V-neck is not pronounced enough
X-next time make sample wider to even up proportions?

Knitting up most successful samples into garment fronts in quarter scale size

Knitting up a small sample to work out how pronounced I want the v neck to be-taking notes of how many stiches I decrease by

Concept board showing my samples alongside trims research and development

I found this pattern piece related most to the kind of garment I would like to create following the oversized vest idea, I also liked the v neck as it would give me the chance to showcase beautiful trims and show what is underneath

Collecting oversized knitwear pieces and looking at how they have been constructed

# data[].attributes.body
Trying out a sandwich trim on an old existing sample where a trim is created then using circular knitting on the industrial machine opens up both beds to then be able to 'sandwich' a sample between

I also think it would be nice to have a contrast within my garments between the messy nature of my samples alongside a clean neat finish

I found the oversized vest most interesting to try and create and I also felt it fitted my project well. I would also like to explore what I could have underneath a vest-potentially a plain fine knit with a turtle neck

Beginning to look at the kind of garment I would like to produce.

# data[].attributes.body
Placing sample on the mannequin to see what it could look like in a fashion context

# data[].attributes.body
I really loved the result on the back of this sample as I found the texture much more interesting than the front. I would like to explore this further with more yarns as well as spending more time punching the needles through.

Trying to give previous print samples a further layer of depth to give more texture using loose mohair yarns

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the whiter more light coloured samples were the most successful as I feel the print really stands out and gives the grungey feel I am aiming for. I'm not sure about the grey colours however i do like the plating technique alongside the print

# data[].attributes.body
Trying out printing onto my own knit samples created using the industrial machine

# data[].attributes.body
Pineapple stitch-I like the texture however I didn't like the striped effect very much, and I felt like this was more of a pattern, than a textured surface

# data[].attributes.body
Using plating techniques, putting random needles out of working position to create almost laddering effects.

Exploring potential bases to print on top of, trying to create a textured knit surface to create another dimension to the layers
