My theme for project 1 was 'Antique', I focussed on things that were precious yet also aged and worn. As this was my first project in 2nd year I wanted to push the boundaries and try out new and innovative techniques, which I hadn't previously used, especially on the domestic knitting machine as this was also a new experience for me. I used materials such as mono filament to trap petals within my samples and elastic to distort the structure, creating frilled effects.My colour palette was focused mainly on pastel colours to resemble how things fade as they become worn and old.
