I made a tube shape with the felting loom, could be a way to make 3D structures with a 2D method

While knitting the threads came loose and I stumbled on this pattern, it looks like pillars

While knitting I tried to combine threads and use them to shape a pattern into the piece

During our weaving lesson we got a chance to experiment, this is when I tried to drive the horizontal thread in between the vertical threads

Right after our weaving lesson a few of us had the chance to experiment with embroidery. After seeing my class mates try it, I wanted to experiment with a blurry picture.

Then soon after I made another with the banana and duct tape art piece

I made some more ladder try-outs, here I tried to play with it more by switching the lines around and making more ladders that extrude from the first

I got my first lesson from Julie in hand knitting, I wanted to learn this skill because I was so interested in machine knitting. Moreover, with the help of this technique I can more easily knit with copper wire or cables

While continuing with the same piece I tried to thread the piece on its self diagonally, I might do this again but keep more space in the bend

this is a thickness test, I wanted to know how the embroidery machine regulates thicknesses and makes some threads stand out more than others. This is why I used a fluid gradient pattern and tried some different thread patterns

This was my attempt in knitting a box, however while making it I decided I wanted to make a rectangle that also fits my bottle

Binding methods with embroidery:

Making such tests allowed me to explore different methods I could use to connect fabrics through the use of embroidery.

My main interests were in methods where I was connecting textile holes and gaps. By doing so I could make creative binding methods that also add to the garment that is being fixed.

Moreover, I think it's worth mentioning that embroidery is a very useful way to repurpose textiles, as I have done in the picture above

Here I have performed such methods on my own garments, for my first one (far left) I tried a simple form. While for my sweaters I decided to fix it more creatively. Since my sweater in the middle had blue accents I decided to make a sort of never ending noodle and I decided to keep the backing. However on the left sweater I wanted to incorporate friendly forms and I embroidered it shut. I am satisfied with all my results

First time making a pattern from a punch-card. I wanted to make a random pattern because every pattern I see is symmetrical.

Here I wanted to understand what the system would do and how the pattern will repeat horizontally. as you can see it looks like car tire marks on the garment. Additionally I wanted to see how the machine would react with empty space instead of holes, but that made no difference.

Bubble stitch with a computer generated pattern, I don't care for it

Double bed try-out, it's nice but feels like it's limiting my ability to make interventions during, this needs more research

what started off as a random test turned into me finding out a way how to switch different yarns, I like the way this looks, I'll definitely do this more

Computer generated patterns nearly have a seemingly seamless transition.

On the left is a garment I made using the punch-card on the right. The pattern is never the same as after each rotation of the punch-card I would resize and use different holes to complete the punch-card. This made it so that with card I was able to make multiple patterns.

If you look carefully on the picture of the punch-card you can see numbers both on and under the card, these numbers are to signify where I will place the stoppers.

I made one from cables because I got inspired by the Instagram page "Basket Club". Due to the stiffness of the cable, much of my effort was put into manually getting the loops through each other.

This one's made from dental floss, which at first seemed like a fun idea but due to the coating on the string, the tension of the work kept re-aligning, the threads were basically sharing the tension and passing along larger and larger loops.

Jute rope worked great, there was some friction but that helped since the rope could grip on the knitting machine. My only complaint is the smell.

This material also worked well, this is a sort of paper based ribbon bought from Hema. as you can see it shows folds, like the material wants to bend its own way. Additionally, the paper did not tear much which made it fairly easy to make

Test to understand how the embroidery machine works. I found out that the machine always embroiders the same direction, I can use this to make my samples easier for the machine and last less time.
