Looking back at the beginning of this project, I started with how i felt and used colours that i could relate to with the feelings i felt at the time and the emotions I was having everyday, constantly. The colour of white... mourning...sadness. This colour feels very empty and lost. there is no vibrancy within. these were the feelings I felt. So I looked into my life and thought of how I could make yarn and knit a raglan sleeved top with it. all the aspects needed meaning, so what better way to look at it, than with my everyday lifestyle. I made points, I am Hindu, I have been dancing from the age of 6 and have graduated in the Indian classical dance form of Baratha Natyam, I am a very soft, kind soul and I love the vibrancy of my religion and all the meaning embedded within. So I thought to seek materials in my own home and not in the shop. I searched and searched... Asking my mom was the best thing I did as she had the best idea and materials I was able to use which had meaning and relevance... Sari's. This is the Hindu cloth worn by Hindu girls and women for occasions and marriage. Thereafter, i started knitting enthusiastically with the yarn I made with the white sari found which was strips of 2cm thick. I had a crazy idea when knitting this so incorporate the colourful intensity of my  religion within through the use of bangles tied onto the top. The next day, I took my knitting and bangles in to class to show my lecturer, Mark and see if he says yes to it. He loved the idea but suggested to knit the bangles into the knit. He showed me how and I completed a row. I was chuffed with the outcome. Here is a picture of it on that day:

Hereafter, I looked at this again and the fabric. There wasn't enough for an entire top and the material started to fray badly and didn't look good anymore. I also didn't like the slight appearance of colour as i wanted vibrancy and an attractive appearance, so too like my culture and religion. The knits also grew and made me re-think my idea. I went back into the cupboards and searched for more material to use. After a lot of searching, I found the perfect materials and immediately cut it into yarn to start again eagerly. This one of the sari's I used and the balls of yarn i made for my top:

I was VERY happy with the outcome of the yarn.
Now to see my knitting... Keep checking!!!! ill be posting tons of pictures! :D

Until next time...
