Wendy Chic - Design by Joanne Lumsden
Please take a look at this fabulous design using Wendy Chic by Joanne Lumsden who is a Higher Art Design student:-
She writes' It started with one ball of Wendy Chic- I
wanted to knit my Higher Art design folio, saw the Chic in the shop and the
whole idea went from there. I've worked with bird feathers before and the wool
reminded me of the feathers at the end of a peacock tail. Wanting a very open
knit to keep the weight to a minimum, I needed to make a simple long straight
dress as a base. Once I had done this with a sea-green velour and petrol blue
lace over bodice, I punched holes in the back waistband (with a leather punch!),
picked up and knitted across the back waistband and went from there. The first
wool was a colour match to the lace bodice, then adding in different mohair
yarns to blend with the different colour strands in the Chic Marinari as I went
down the back.At floor level I used a standard increasing formula to produce
the fullness of the tail. I added cap sleeves to balance the design and the
whole thing was knitted on size 15 needles!! Oval self-coloured panels were
attached to the bodice for detail interest with real peacock feather 'eyes'
stuck on. I modelled the dress at Drum Castle on the only sunny day in April
2013. Not bad for a girl who has only knitted a jumper and 2 headbands
previously! I am really proud of my design and can't quite believe I did it all
myself when I look at the photos" Joanne Lumsden
Well done Joanne
