Hello! It's SUMMER! Well... for me anyways, I keep forgetting that all my friends have silly exams and rubbish like that, but I am DONE. Woot! This post is all about knitting. Knit, knit, glorious knit! At the beginning of my most recent semester at Heriot Watt, I was slightly terrified of knit because I completely fail at hand knitting before trying anything which the machines. But now I love it! Our brief was to create a half scale garment using either domestic or v-bed knitting machines. I much preferred the domestic machines so I stuck with my strengths.
Here are some images of my final garment, along with a final illustration and some of the sketchbook development.

I definitely hope to combine the knitting skills I have learned and refined this year with my 3rd year capsule collection at uni, which I am excited about, even though I don't return to uni for another 6 months or something crazy like that!
Really feel like I need to paint something, going a little insane with so lazy and uncreative in my first few weeks of summer. Crazy lady!
