Project Proposal | Michael Kuiken Knits
https://michaelkuikenknits.wordpress.com/project-proposal
An Exploration in Creative Fiber. My creative process will start with researching. Because I cannot know what type of yarn or how much to spin until I have decided on a pattern, my first topic of research will be dresses. I will research both knitted and dresses sewn from woven fabrics. This will help me decide what type of dress I would like to knit and what is possible. From here, I will ideate with sketches.

I. Started. Knitting. Finally. | Michael Kuiken Knits
https://michaelkuikenknits.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/i-started-knitting-finally
An Exploration in Creative Fiber. I Started. Knitting. Finally. Asymp; 2 Comments. For a knitting project, I have done a whole lot of everything else besides knitting. Not anymore. Today I did a small gauge swatch to figure out what size of needles I wanted to use and the total number of stitches I needed to cast on said needles. After that, I pulled apart the test swatch and officially casted on the first stitches of what will become the main skirt section. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. You are comm...

It’s done. | Michael Kuiken Knits

An Exploration in Creative Fiber. Asymp; Leave a comment. I have finished the dress, but due to the nature of this time of the year (finals, papers, packing, moving out, etc), I have not had time to take final images. I can, however, post the video of the process that I showed in my presentation. Enjoy. I promise images will come, but that might not happen until next week. First world problem. Larr; Previous post.

Sun Dried Wool. | Michael Kuiken Knits

An Exploration in Creative Fiber. Asymp; Leave a comment. Video taping definitely is slowing my productivity down a bit, making me glad I didn’t put off starting this project. Doing things by hand always takes a long time. But on a good note, I’m starting to get a good pile of yarn spun and ready for knitting. Here’s some freshly spun yarn hanging in the window to dry after taking a quick bath to set the twist. I love seeing physical progress. It makes the effort worth it. Larr; Previous post.

https://michaelkuikenknits.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/skirt-piece-progress-a-k-a-upper-butt-covering
An Exploration in Creative Fiber. Skirt Piece Progress (A.K.A. Upper-Butt Covering). Asymp; 1 Comment. Yes, knitting is very time-consuming, but I can do it rather mindlessly for hours on end. In my mind, I am on track (or maybe just a little behind). Here is my progress with the skirt part so far:. Upper part of skirt working downwards. Also, I am using some bamboo circular needles I picked up from The Rose Tree Fiber Shop. For the knitters out there. Now I am working in a tube shape again, but I am doi...

Cabled Cap Sleeves | Michael Kuiken Knits

An Exploration in Creative Fiber. Asymp; Leave a comment. They’re not much to show, but here is my progress so far. The sleeves have a cable stitch along the outside and they will eventually be connected by a few rows of garter stitch. My fingers aren’t sore yet… but they will be. Larr; Previous post. Next post →.

Knitting Update | Michael Kuiken Knits
https://michaelkuikenknits.wordpress.com/2012/04/18/knitting-update
An Exploration in Creative Fiber. Asymp; 1 Comment. I have been trying to show people how far I am, but they usually just see a blob of knitted yarn. Hopefully this image will help a bit. I have finished the shoulder/sleeve piece, the main skirt piece, and the band at the bottom of the skirt (a recent addition to the concept). These are shown in violet to the left. This completes my unnecessary rant. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. Thought on “Knitting Update”. April 19, 2012 at 9:27 pm. You are commen...
