Knitting the month away...Boucle Couture

The last project of my second year has come to an end.  4 weeks have flown by and after being given Boucle as my material for our drape module I decided to develop a knitwear based collection.  This was a tad ambitious considering i am pretty clueless in the knitting department but I've had the best 4 weeks, not realising most days the amount of time I was spending in the studio every day.
I had the help of a lovely friend of mine Ed, who is on the textile's course, whom taught me how to use the machines and was an amazing support if I had any questions!

So the resulting garments turned out to be very pink..completely unintentionally but I learnt so much and cannot wait to get back to the knitting machine!


Here are a few pictures, for the rest of the portfolio work please see kezi.carbonmade.com Photoshoot to come!

Society6

So a lot has been happening since I last posted on here.  I had my first experience at an internship interview, an experience that could only be described as interesting-with interesting being the word to use when you never want to repeat the situation ever again.  My main mistake-wearing shoes 2 sizes too small for me and almost crushing a fellow candidate with me and my many bags of fabric.  Anyway, I have defiantly learnt...

So my prints have kind of taken over a lot of my spare time, I've been working on them as often as possible and have finally put myself on society6 with a few of my prints so far...there are many more to come! So this is where you can find me:society6.com/keziahnewlove
