The design process was conducted in experimental knitting on both industrial and domestic knitting machines, workshops entailing the relation between the knits and the body as well as technically developing the proper bindings to work in unity. Analysis of the knits were made which led to the solely use of these bindings: rib, spacer, links, ripple and mesh.
The outcome of the projects resulted in four knitted textile prototypes, where one of them is designed as a product in the shape of a top, and the others as knitted fabrics each representing two opposing functions.
The conclusion drawn in retrospect of this project that by placing opposing bindings parallel, such ripple and links, it is possible to achieve two opposing functions as well as different visual perception within the same area of a knitted piece.
