Just a thought....
I have just spent two days trying not to be precious about how I explore my ideas......just can't do it!

Tardy blogger finds focus...
What a difference a month makes. After doing what I know and producing what I expected I finally totally relinquished control and went with instinct.
The photos are of Toiles (of a sort) produced with the intent of seeing what happens when I twist and fold. I wasn't thinking about how I could knit it just how it behaved.
Alongside I also looked at shapes that were not obvious choices for producing knitted fabrics, so we have triangles within circles. Again the potential for shape suggests how they can be used as garment components.
Next on the agenda is exploring in a non precious way on paper how I can develop these ideas.....most of my documentation is thorough but possibly too finished. The problem with this is it doesn't really enable the person looking at it to work out how I arrived at the finished idea. Too many years spent in industry ...........
Next blog should be around 8th February........lets see where I am by then!!
