Tapestry: Crochet Techniques for Drawing with Thread

x Draw and weave with threads

“You reached the end of the course, I hope you are inspired to create your own jacquard patterns and knit them. Thank you very much for choosing me as your teacher. Before embarking on a new path through the world of knitting, remember that everything is a matter of practice, so don't put your needles aside and knit as much as you can. If the project does not go as you expected, calm, do not give up, start from scratch, it is always a good day to start over. Also, do not forget that I will always be accompanying you and that if you have any questions you can ask me in the forum. Now yes, I invite you to carry out your own final project. I share an example of how I would like to see your process. The mood board Choose some aspects to work on your project. Think of things that surround you and attract your attention or the work of people who inspire you. Then make a mood board where you are going to capture that information to have it as a guide throughout the process.

Prepare everything before knitting Sketch your ideas until you come up with the design you will use to create your pattern. I also did some color tests to put together your color palette. If you still do not dare to do this, you can use the design of the final project, but I invite you to dare and do it as an exercise, after a while of practice you will see what good results you get! The grid design Transfer your design to the grid using tracing and draw the pattern by hand. You can also use your computer if you think it can help you better define your project. Start knitting Select the materials and tools to work and weave your design, with the step by step and all the tips that I taught you so you can do it. Start with the tubular base, then knit the first segment of yellow triangles, later you will continue through the rows of full color. The face Begin to weave the face, which is a much more organic drawing, row by row following the different color changes that your pattern details. Add a new color to knit with three colors at the same time. Final details Lastly, make the finishing touches to turn it into a pillow or tote bag. Now you are ready to share your work and also your process with the rest of the community. If you dare to share it not only on the forum, but also on your social networks, I ask you to do so with the hashtag #FabricDomestika so that I can see it. I hope you embark on this path of drawing and weaving with threads, I am eager to see your entire journey! See ya! ”

“Final Project We've reached the end of the course. Thank you for having joined me and now we'll go over what we did. First, I chose the three artists that influence and inspire me and took some of their elements to make my design. I recommend you do the same, find artists that inspire you or elements around you, in art or in nature and use that to be inspired. With the information I gathered, I made a mood board. Try to make your own so you can go back to it throughout the whole process. The next step was to sketch and with that, we made the drawing that became our pattern. Then, using my m...”
