Final Pieces

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided that for my final knitted piece I would use Blackpool tower as the main source of inspiration in both colour and structure. My outcome pieces have strong links and connections to the illuminations, using the colour pallet I was able to introduce the same element by introducing  multiple, gradual colours into my design and applying this to a knitted piece for a horse/donkey bridle. Archives taken from Blackpool, the Manchester Slide Library and personal photographs relating to the seaside resort, initially inspired this idea and was the golden thread throughout this journey.

 

 

After researching tassels, trims and fringes, I decided to apply this to the edge, when thinking of a passementerie design idea still using the same colour pallet however this time instead of a gradual Concentration of colour this time i mixed the yarns.

This was a new technique that had to be tested before hand usually when inserting eyelets, firstly you create a hole and then insert. However for me this wasn’t the case, as I intended to inserted the eyelet into the end of a hook up, each one had to mirror the other and measure to a size 22mm fitting the equipment and creating a tubular design outcome.
