Playing With Techniques

This week I have been developing my knits by working in blocks and paying attention to negative space in order to reflect my sketchbook development. I have really enjoyed using elongated stitch: I tried this technique both partially, then all the way through samples. This idea worked well as the change of colour and direction in my knit samples communicate blocky elements. In my tutorial this week we spoke about my yarn choice, I have still been using a range of colour and yarn type up to this point. In order to refine this I need to find yarn that reflects the delicacy and neatness of my sketchbook.
