Knitwear

On the Tuesday we had Liz for knitwear. We learn't many new techniques such as fringing , tassles, how to make fancy yarn , multi yarn , pom poms. how to knit with jersey and also with shredded fabric like cotton.
The day was intense but I really like working with different yarns which I was new to.
My favourite yarn was the fancy wool which you gather three or more wools together and then loop different colors in for a fringy tassled look to the wool.
I decided to use the fancy wool to make my neckpiece/shrug for assessment.
The only thing I would say was it took so long to make the yarn and then I had to knit it also which took plenty of time but I felt the outcome outweighed all of these obstacles and I was glad I used the fancy yarn in the end.

Some images to look at
