experimentation _ kntting

knitting and knitted fabrics are very popular, almost important, in a winter wardrobe as it is stylish and provides great warmth in the cooler seasons. certainly in the industry there will be machines that deal with the knitting for you but in this case, i'm not in the industry, i don't have a knitting machine so its all fun times, learning the techniques of knitting and seeing how it would work and if the designs that i want will be appropriate for this. HAHA .

so, i went out today and bought a pair of knitting needles, some yarn to practice with and youtube to get me all started .

lets just say, it was fun doing everything apart from when i knitted way too many stitches to begin with and ended up with a huge long piece... that was not ideal for a beginner like me. i should have just stuck to 20 stitches. but all good, i know for next time .

this is what i did ____

research _ pocket + hoods

i wanted to look into pockets and hoods as from what i know and what people have told me, they are all so important in creating a look that is street worthy. so i looked into a wise source known as google to find out the definitions of these wonderful things, here are the results .

pocket

1. A small bag sewn into or on clothing so as to form part of it, used for carrying small articles

hood

1. A covering for the head and neck with an opening for the face, typically forming part of a coat or sweatshirt

of course, not every garment will have a pocket or a hood, as awesome as that may sound but i think it would be nice to think about them and make them fit in there somewhere .
