Another half useful day. The ideas seam to be stuck behind somewhere.
I have book at home called ''Knot sure'' by Margot Cullen that was an inspiration. It is about a Irish fashion designer Cyril Cullen. He was a brilliant self taught  knitwear and porcelain designer. I think it is not so easy to make knitted dress look elegant and sexy the same time but he seams to have done it over and over again.

 Started working on my idea about people unraveling under the everyday problems but something is still pulling us together.

 Found a tutorial on how to make knots (that's what knitting essentially is knots) on http://www.grit.com/Tools/Tie-the-10-Most-Useful-Knots.aspx
 The loop drawn above is a reef(square) knot. Seams very symbolic


I tried knitting with wire as seen above and looked up designers who use it in their work. 
Elizabeth Berrien is said to be godmother of contemporary wire sculpture movement.

Above are some tryouts of mine using different kind of wire.




 Stole my daughters knitting box.



Brilliant piece by Kitty Wales. Love the way she uses her materials.
