  5. brooke's scarf

    • knit
    A diaphanous knit lacework scarf draped over the back of a chair. It is split down the long way into two colors - one tinted orange and one tinted mint blue. Both colors, the orange and the blue, are held double with the same variegated gray, making the piece more cohesive. The yarn overs in the lacework create airy repeating holes.

  9. designing a bag

    • leather
    • software
    a 3-image collage showcasing a leather crossbody bag. the leather body is brown and fairly simple. up the narrow sides, rope is laced through grommets in a style resembling a shoe lacing. the rope forms the handle and loops seamlessly through the other side of the bag, joining in one point in a figure-8 follow-through knot. At the bottom corners, there are small diagonal lines of stitching to give the bag a small lip around the base and ensure small objects don't slide out.

    ok so. five image collage showing the front, 3 inner spreads, and back of a riso-printed zine in green and light blue. it's called 'on the shoulders of giants' and it's about a knitting technique I learned from Stephen west and how I built on that technique. it talks about joining two adjacent panels without seaming, instead knitting the second panel onto the selvedge of the first. then it uses that technique to approach two panels knit with significantly different weights of yarn
