1.8 PORTRAYING BY DRAWING

At last ! I’m able to use the computer!

The only way of drawing I can perform, understand and deliver is by grid drawing, a sort of mosaic creating kind of thing:

My problems where two:

firstly how to portray a physical design and to convert it into a two/ three color jacquard.

second hurdle I had to overcome was to find a way to transfer the .tif file I’ve created into the blog as drag and drop didn’t work.

Finally I found out that .gif file was acceptable but with the down side of not having a clear picture (that’s why all pics are a bit blurred).

my goal was to create physical looking graph which can be used by a knitting machine and convert it into fabric if required.
