Total knitting time: 1866 mins= 31 hours 6 mins
Portable knitting: This piece is knitted in two parts. We have finally been allowed to see other people in very small groups and still 2m apart, so I have been knitting more publicly again. This means I that I start knitting a new section when the first section got too big to easily carry around
Form/Order/disorder: I wanted to communicate the way I knit as a stream of consciousness so I decided I didn't want the piece to 'just' be plain stripes. I have knitted fairly random protrusions instead.
Colour changes: Normally, when I knit with many colours, I blend new colours in a very particular way. Here I have literally started a new colour by tying the new colour to the old and carrying on knitting. This would have give straight lines of knitting, which I didn't want, so I tried to distort these lines to make them curved by knitting and turning short rows. I'm quite pleased with the results.
Marking time: Thinking about time and my knitting process, I decided to change colour each time I knitted in a different setting. I have recorded the time and the location. These two pieces represent a week's knitting:
