a knitted texture

a knitted texture for the back of a sweater. this one is really simple but helps to understand the difference between front and back by touch.

i´m planning to use this technique to form "pearls" to the front of a sweater.

Working in the summer heat.

Summer greetings from Turku!
I started working on the actual garments a while back. Currently I am working on a dress that is almost finished. I have already made a pair of basic trousers out of light wool mix. The trousers will most likely be paired with a blouse and a waistcoat.
Unfortunately because it is so hot at the moment I haven't been as productive and effective as I was hoping to be this week.

This is the dress. A kind of collage of different materials and detailing.
