Today the CAD session with Simon went really well. The first
tiny maggot sample that I did, I liked it so much that I wanted to see if maybe
I changed the yarns and the machine gauge, I could get different effect of
maggot knit samples.
I really enjoyed this session as it gave me the chance to
have fun experimenting with different colours and textures of yarn. This is
what I enjoy the most about knitting.
Using the 10 gauge knitting machine I knitted three samples
of the knitted maggots. I liked how they came out but I didn't love them, I thought
there was still something missing but I couldn't put my finger on it.
For this sample I used a mohair yarn which I thought would
be more interesting but I don’t really like how it came out. You can’t really
see the shape of the maggots but I like the colour of the yarn.
For my next two samples, I used the 14 gauge machine. These samples
came out amazing, I love them. My only complaint would be, I wish that I could
try and get smaller maggots but the problem is there isn't a smaller gauge
machine so this is the smallest I can get!
I plan to keep experimenting because you never know what can
happen, in the business of knitting!
