Knitting Samples Four

For the last few days I have been experimenting with the technique of punchcards- using Fair Isle, Lace, and Tuck effects. It might seem silly, but I am absolutely fascinated by the fact that a hole-punch card, placed inside the knitting machine can produce these samples, mind blown! I absolutely love the pink Tuck sample and the texture it produces. This weekend I am going to continue to progress with my sketchbook work, looking at how I can combine my drawings, with my samples for my last week of knitting.
