Abstract [en]

In this project, a collection of clothes, exploring the realm of knitwear design through the integration of out-of-context metal objects, has been developed. With a focus on exploring basic knitting techniques, such as plain knit, partial knit, and intarsia knit, the aim of this project was to challenge traditional knitting methods by introducing foreign objects to generate new shapes, functions, and expressions in knitwear. By repurposing everyday objects found in second-hand stores and seamlessly incorporating them into knitted garments, this project challenges the idea of conventional knitwear and elevates it to a form of wearable art, as well as bringing a new perspective to the production of knitted garments. Knitwear allows for the direct molding of the garment when it is still in the machine, providing the flexibility needed to seamlessly incorporate foreign objects. Through a combination of experimental techniques and a theoretical approach inspired by material juxtaposition, the project explores the potential of these objects to create complex shapes and advanced aesthetics that are unattainable through conventional knitting practices.
