experimentation _ spec drawings

apparently we need to be good at drawing spec drawings so we spent the whole of class time drawing these. more importantly, they need to be drawn with a template so we were given one in class and the first image is it. average really, but the proportions are more-so correct so that is the one i shall use. but MORE importantly, they have to be accurate. fun times . . .

experimentation _ knit

again just testing out the knitting and seeing what other styles can be achieved by a beginner. it's all quite exciting doing all of this .

it was difficult for me to make it looser at the bottom by adjusting the tension as i had never done anything like this before and because i didn't research techniques etc, i just jumped in the deep end with this one and i guess it was fine. it's all just learning at this stage anyway, and always better to do something and understand rather than to listen and just watch .

but what i found when i finished it off was the fact that even though i had loosened the tension... it still didn't supply me with the bigger holes that i had anticipated and dropping stitches was a bit too scary for me. might try next time .

but here are my results .
