Freeform Creating

Freeform knitting or crochet is a fascinating technique.

It can go in any direction and you are the boss of it. 

Create a circle with crochet, pick up some stitches and knit a few rows, cast off. Keep adding to your work, piece by piece,  colour by colour. Let it grow into an amoeba shape until you are happy with it. 

Make a bag , scarf, wrist warmers, or an outfit. 

It’s something you can just pick up and do. Make separate pieces and stitch together. Add embroidery, anything goes so get that imagination working. 

My latest garment is finished off with handmade buttons.

Figure Hugging or Not

My Grandmother always wore a corset. It was important for that generation.

Body image seems to change with different generations. Its OK to wear a corset on the outside of the body these days.

While studying at EIT I touched on this subject with these images.

I'm beginning to explore this again in a new artwork.
