This week learnt new techniques including, casting of, lace wholes, ladders, punch hole and e-wrappings. I found these techniques really interesting and found that ladders and lace whole work well together and link back to my drawings and theme of traces.e-wrapping was something that really interested me as it can be used to create a variety of shapes both abstract and formulaic but also that it creates an interesting texture and it is possible to e-wrap with a large variety of thickness's and textures of yarns.
Whilst researching a came across the artist Sonya Phillips; a knitter who uses a very similar colour palette to that I have been using and also creates textural effects to her knits. As well as this another reason I found Sonya's work inspiring is due to the fact that she exhibits her work in galleries this is something I think my work if taken forward and expanded would be placed,I am looking forward to combining all the techniques I have learnt to create my final samples next week.
