During my visit to the botanic gardens in Glasgow, I  looked for similarities between the floral silhouettes in Karl Blossfeldt's photography and the exotic plants in the Kibble Palace. The intricate details of the killer plants section reminded me of the complex textures and patterns that can be created with seed knitting techniques. I was able to observe the way the different botanical shapes and forms interacted with each other, which sparked ideas for incorporating similar shapes and forms into my knitwear designs. Seeing the plants up close also gave me a new appreciation for the organic and natural elements that I can incorporate into my designs. Overall, my visit to the botanic gardens was a valuable source of inspiration for my knitwear collection.

The delicate and intricate silhouettes of botanical plants have not only inspired me visually but also have influenced my approach to design techniques in the wool. I plan to incorporate different stitches, drop stitches, fraying, layers, smock stitching, and other details inspired by the botanical shapes.

These techniques will be applied selectively, such as on chest areas or certain panels, sleeves, cuffs, or collars, to create a balanced and harmonious look that is both visually interesting and wearable

I believe cashmere would be a great choice of material for several reasons. Firstly, it has a softness and luxurious feel that aligns with my vision of subtle elegance. Additionally, cashmere's natural insulating properties make it an ideal choice for a springtime collection, as it can keep me warm without being too heavy. Lastly, the texture of cashmere yarn lends itself well to intricate knit designs and details, such as the stitches and fraying techniques that I plan to incorporate into the collection. All of these factors make cashmere a perfect choice for bringing my concept to life.

I find myself drawn to the way dye and print can bleed and blend on knitwear, creating a beautiful effect that reminds me of the art strokes and paint techniques of Stephen Doherty. Recently, I discovered a jumper from Barrie Knitwear that utilizes this technique, and I fell in love with the deep, contrasting feel it gives. The richness and freshness of the colors are visually captivating to me, and I feel it adds an extra dimension of interest to the garment

Through exploring unique stitch structures and color placement, I aim to create knit textiles that evoke the same sense of organic beauty and complexity found in Blossfeldt's photographs. I will also be generating ideas for patterns based on the shapes and textures of the plants and flowers in his work, which will be incorporated into my designs.
