GROUP TUTORIAL

After my tutorial, it was suggested I look at glitch knitting and/or abstract knitted sculptures. Looking into glitch knitting, it doesn't really seem like something I'd be interested in. The reason I knit is because I am a hands person, who enjoys the process of making by hand. Even if, like knitting it is a long repetitive process. Glitch knitting requires, an item to be made by machine knitting via knitting pattern software. The only human interaction is the creation of the glitch. I am much more drawn to the idea of 3d abstract knitting. Towards the end of my pre-major project I started creating 3d knits representing actual objects so am aware of the time and skill needed. I also enjoy the qualities given to knitted items when they can be handled as an object that exists without needing to cover something else.
