Reflection:
Knitting is decidedly my favourite technique I’ve learned in Surface Design class. After learning the basics of knitting, I started to see it everywhere — on my clothes, on all sorts of stuff while window shopping etc. It’s so inspiring seeing people online hand knitting sweaters, beanies, socks, etc (r/knitting). I’ve never previously paid much attention to them because I buy those items from retailers where the knitted apparel is mass produced.
My final project was made almost exclusively with the knitting technique. I hope to keep improving down the line.
