Samples

I have started to do some samples using various sections of the image as inspiration, I made a plan for each sample which included yarn colour, techniques and layout. (see sketchbook) 

I really like the pulled e wrap technique, I think it has a great effect and could be used to interpret a wide variety of sections in my work. Although I have steamed this sample the variation of the positions of e wrap had affected the shape of this sample.

I don't really like this sample at all, it seems pretty pointless as it is so small, I do however like the effect of partial knit on the bottom left corner but I am not sure this works well at this point.

In this sample I have simply e wrapped different colours in, I quite like the finished effect but unfortunately the casting off on this sample is too tight and has warped the shape slightly.

 

This is definitely one of my favourite samples as the colours are lovely, and the pulled e wrap technique really flatters the sample.

I am not sure how I feel about this particular sample as there re a few mistakes that I recovered, I think if I had used a tighter tension to darker blue knit would look much better.

I really like this sample as rather than looking at any specific detail in the image I focused more on the colours that were in the section, I love the inlay of the red and yellow yarn at the bottom.

This sample was aimed to have a more simple look and I feel that it has worked really well and this sample had a beautiful texture.
