In my search to understand how I plan to create 3D Spots on my knitwear. I started looking into different knitting techniques. I found a how to crochet a balls. So cute.

This could be a great way to create a 3D effect on the sleeves and front of knit top/cardis.

I’ve always had a thing for pom poms. I love them on just about anything. They are so cute and fluffy. Just plain old adoreable. Can we attach them all over a knit top? How would that work? It would look pretty cool though.

Knitted Shorts

How cute are knitted shorts.  Super comfortable too! Check out so pics I have found which are truly inspiring.

I like the look of these pair as they are body tight.  Some of them look like bike shorts.

Love these layered styles.  A cropped jumper like this looks so beautiful layered over so may undergarment.  It's almost like a bolero only way cooler!!!

Neat Knits

Apart of this semesters Assessment is to also create a 6 piece capsule collection using Knitwear.

Apart of my swimwear collection I was inspired by embroidered circles I would like to continue this theme through to my knitwear.

First I am going to look at inspiring images of example knits which I like and then look into different patterns and tecnhiques I also like.
