Industrious crafts, a title that can be understood as both productive or diligent crafts, explores the intersection of industrial tools and craft processes within the field of knitwear design. The work proposes a new, alternative interpretation of the notion of craft processes within the knitwear industry by making use of the strengths of industrial tools to open up time for craft processes and their aesthetic qualities and expressive possibilities. More specifically, the work focuses on the development of the industrially knitted garment as a fluid design material to which craft processes can be applied. This is achieved through multimorphic design approaches building on traditional knitwear techniques that explore the possibilities of surface expression and shape within the final garment. These multimorphic design approaches are used as a method for studying the relationships between manual manipulations and industrially knitted garment forms. The garment forms and used techniques are developed using standardised modules from the M1+ knitting software and thus build on standardised industry development methods. Methods for colour application include space-dyeing and dip-dyeing techniques, which reinforce the craft aspect of this project. Each garment has been developed so that the industrial knitting technique offers a certain possibility for hand manipulation after the machine knitting process. These hand manipulations work together with the industrially knitted garment to create the final surface expression and shape of the garment. The collection shows that there is a high potential for the development of these industrially knitted design materials to which craft techniques are later applied. Not only do they allow for simultaneous creation of form and graphic expression through manipulation, but also for a certain fluidity in how an industrially knitted garment can be adapted to the needs of the wearer or transformed into different styles. By developing new ways of working within knitwear design, the project aims to explore possibilities for the intersection of industrial processes and craft within the knitwear industry. This can lead to new narratives for sustainability within the field of knitwear design by combining elements of adaptability, manual crafts, a possible reduction of overstock and the strengthening of the bond between the wearer and the garment to show that industrial machines should not be demonised when working with sustainable processes. Rather, they can be seen as an opportunity to expand traditional craft practices.
