I started to introduce some colour into my knit visual research completely by accident. When starting drawings, I used Quink ink onto a watered background as my initial ground. By doing so, the ink dispersed and created some beautiful blues and oranges. I feel that these colours could make some beautifully rich knit samples. I really enjoy the soft shapes of the dispersed inks against the structured fine liner and feel that this could easily be portrayed through the use of different yarns within knit. I'd hopefully like to experiment with some mohair in order to re-generate the soft contours.
