Overall, the whole week of producing knitwear is something I will not forget. At the start, I was very conscious of what I was doing, which took up a lot of time, but by the time I got used to the techniques, I was much quicker with my swatches and began to enjoy what I was creating. On our last day, we had to create 2x A4 size swatches of knitwear, which we then presented to the class at the end of the day. Luckily enough, one of my designs was chosen as a favourite by Bid himself! Thus, I have a sense of achievement for this week. I really liked working with knitwear and I intend to try it once again another time throughout the year considering I still have all this fresh knowledge in my head and there are many ways I could incorporate it with my current theme. The swatch I was chosen favourite for included techniques such as honeycomb, lace holes, weaving, fraying, hemming and more, although we were only supposed to have around 5 techniques in each swatch, but it was so hard to resist! I liked the way mine looked in the sense that it can portray emotion, whether that being anger or sadness because it starts off neat and ends up in chaos.
In the end, I was really impressed with everyones designs and I loved how diverse everyones was, whether that being colour, style, technique pattern and so much more. Plus, Bid was very nice to work with as he has great knowledge and knows how to explain the processes very well, which is why everyone did really good this week. If I could change anything, it would have been the colour pallet although we were working in pairs so we had to make alternatives and agreements considering we couldn't keep switching colours with everyone. Moreover, I still would have liked to have learnt more techniques with this workshop, but I feel comfortable enough to say that I have learnt a great amount nonetheless and it is an incentive for me to try this process again in future.
