Fringed & Layered Knitted Sample...

Chunky knitted sample...

This sample has been developed from the previous samples using more contemporary yarns and much more colour. I feel that this sample is very successful, due to the use of contrasting machine gauge's and direction of the knitting. I think the mono-filament is a little much on this sample and also difficult to use, therefore I may try a replacement yarn to stop the unwanted breaking and laddering. I believe this sample to be a great contender for my up and coming garments.

The knitted samples below are the initial developed samples for this design unit. One of the main differences is that I have begun to incorporate more glamorous and contemporary yarns to contrast the original overpowering earthy and derelict qualities.  I also am trying to broaden my use of colour which has been inspired by some of my earlier research...
