One avenue that was
essential to explore was turning photos into knitting. Discussing
this activity with a number of friends helped to identify key
features for completing this transition; features such as colour,
pattern and texture needed to be taken into account to make a
successful sample. Thus in my samples I have concentrated on these
aspects.
My finest examples
of knitting photos
My
first sample that shows this translation is my yellow and grey
knitting, base on double yellow lines, I have emphasized the use of
small stones from the tarmac and the cracked yellow paint through the
knitting techniques lase holes and ladders as they
resemble the same kind of texture. The second sample used the same
kind of intricate detail but this time in the form of e-wrap, I
have used this texture building technique to create a brick style
pattern resembling in the centre bottom image.
After
making these samples I have discovered how easy it is to convert an
image into a textiles sample, even with a technique such as knitting
where you do not have as much control over your work as you would
with other textile worlds such as embroidery. Due to this I am
excited to venture into unconventional with my future work and samples.
