a failed accomplishment over the summer was knit, but I am a very determined person, and i'm sure, by christmas i would have knitted a jumper for each one of my family and friends. Last year I found I had a real affinity for knitwear, on the machines anyway, but hand knitting is a different ball game. The simple idea of fibres criss crossing and weaving creating a garment fascinates my mind, just as last year, the idea of pattern cutting was the same. Knowing now how garments are constructed gives me a wider idea, and a keen search for more knowledge. I find myself looking in shops not to shop, but to imagine and marvel over the stitch, the silhouette and line of the garment. It's the same with knitting. Cable knit is something that I am avidly keen to create, especially for the autumn/winter collection I have in mind for 2011. I absolutely love D&G knitwear, this autumn/winter 2010, it's amazing, though I was quite disappointed that in the London flagship store they had next to nothing of this statement knit that was so present on the catwalk.
