Final Samples

These images show my final 12 samples, I feel that they have been a success and may proceed to knit them together at some point but as I am unsure as to whether each sample will be thought as something different I have kept them as individual samples.

The two tones of blue that I used in this sample are my favourite colour yarns that I have used in this project, I love how well they compliment each other and I think that the pulled e wrap technique is shown really well here.

As I was knitting this piece I realised that the side that I had done the partial knit on was the opposite side to the part of the image I was looking at, with this in mind I carried on and was happy with the outcome and quite like that it is the 'wrong' way around.

This is one of my more simple samples and I like how the two tone knit has a different effect every time. I am pleased with this sample, in this case less is definitely more.

This sample was not intended to be so plain, but I had a minor crises and i was unsure how to create the look of the image without being too literal or too abstract, I eventually decided that to create the colour changes I would use partial knit with hold and simply hooked the separate colours back onto the machine and knitted them together.

In this sample I feel there is a very literal element to it which initially I tried to avoid, I think overall I have found a good balance between the collection of samples in terms of literal and abstract.

This is one of my least favourite samples as there is not a lot going on in terms of colour, if it wasn't for me trying to follow the sections this could have been a lot more interesting.

This sample is by far one of my favourites! I love how it looks just like the image I was working from and I feel that the colours are exactly how I wanted them to be.

I quite like the simplicity in this sample as although it is just a basic sample the yarn choices seem to comploment each other in a great way. I also like the hand sewn finish where I was unsure how to add such a delicate amount of red on the knitting machine.

I am unsure how I feel about this project as I am starting to feel like I have over used the pulled e wrap technique. I still love the result of it but maybe next time I should think of a alternative instead of using the same technique so much.

I love this sample as it has a likeness to the section I was focusing on but at the same time has a great style to it, I am extremely pleased with the outcome of hooking the piece back onto the machine to create a grid like effect.

Again here I am unsure of the use of the pulled e wrap technique, however the normal e wrap strip to me is the best part of the sample as it has a wonderful texture.

I am pleased with outcome of this sample as simplicity wins in this case, I feel like there could be a lot more going on but it could ruin the whole piece.

Overall I am very pleased with my final outcome as I didn't think they would turn out this well considering I have not really enjoyed the project as a whole.
