Kniting: fashion, craft, art and technology by Sandy Blackk

Even though I have chosen print CAD as my specialization, I really like knit and this lecture was really interesting.

Knit, some aspects:

• duality, universality
• 2D and 3D
• underwear to outwear ( 1st seamless knit: socks and stockings)
• engineering knit
• craft and technology

Some examples:

• first punk knit by Vivienne Westwood
• hand knitted Jean Paul Gaultier Collection (not found)
• Julien MacDonald revolutionary hand knit and lace
• Freddie Robins , the knitted wedding blog and Freddie Robins interview on knitting.
