Patchwork Knit Sampler



For this assignment I used the knitting machine and tried several different yarn types and the two different carrigages on the machine. Below is a sample of 3 different kinds of yarns on 2 carriages and tension set on the carriages to change the density of the stitches. One goal was to see how long a piece I could make, however, it was a bit finicky to keep the yarn on the needles after a certain length, thus the bits of knitted patches. I think this can be solved if you can go back into the knit to reconnect the stiches by hand using a crochet needle. Casting off, which was done once, takes a bit of time, but the end effect is quite nice.
