Projecting with Knits

Following from a tutorial last week I got a few ideas about wrapping knits around polystyrene balls to make the knits appear larger and looser. I like how they turned out.

I also developed my finger knitting and started to experiment with knitting with hand needles. Exploring the different ways of knitting was interesting and I like the different textures you get from each.

After projecting onto my paper models I decided to experiment with knits as I felt this could be more interesting. I was worried the knits wouldn’t pick up the projected image however i feel they have worked pretty well, these create much more of a texture however I feel the paper models project the image clearer. I think both work well.

I love the 3D quality that has been created within the images. They again follows on from my hidden things idea well as the balls seem to be trapped and hidden within the knits.
