Collection One:
My first collection was created from the lace structures I produced on the knitting machines (previously photgraphed) I then began to hand knit with these structures to create chunky knits that would be used for a fashion end use.
Collection Two:
My second collection was created using the technique of finger knitting. I created spiral structures to show my inspiration from arch ways and other structures which showed curves and movement. This collection would also have a fashion end use, but would best be suited to accessories as the structure is more delicate than the first.

Architecture..the knitting begins!
After my visual research I began to develop my ideas and try and relate these into knit structures. I chose to use the lace stitch and created numerous long pieces of fabric by using a small amount of needles to knit with. I really liked the overall effect and my next plan is to hand knit with these long fabrics.

Architecture project
At the moment I am creating two knitwear collections inspired by the theme of architecture. I began this project with collecting visual research- this was done in the way of photography; I decided to base my project around the architectural structures within Leeds and mainly buildings designed by one of Leeds most famous architects Cuthbert Brodrick. I focused my photography on the Leeds Town Hall and Corn Exchange whilst using a few other buildings such as the arcades for more interesting photography.
