Week 4 CURVES AND CONTOURS

This week we are learning curves and contours.  It was the best week yet.  Most interesting  

It is a real challenge creating the right  curvature on the knitting machine.  We started by making oval and ellipse shapes.  Using sock heel technique we created bust shapes.  We also used various darts using short rowing and moving over stitches to make bust shapes.  So many possibilities.  We continued to make lot of samples. Each time using an other method like poinntelle and closed fashioning.  

We also knitted circular sections using various way of short 

rowing, increasing and decreasing methods.

This is the playing with shaping

Some more experimenting 

We knitted various textures using all the above technique. 

We had such a great time playing with all these great techniques

Two more week to go

              short rowing.
