So inspired by the knitted transfer paint samples I did earlier. I knitted plain cotton yarn patches and rusted them exactly the same way I would other fabrics. Im pretty pleased with the results.
The top left, more orangey sample is rusted using vinegar and wrapping around an old rusty can. The other two are created using tea and wrapped around rusty cans, this give more grey/silver colouring.
For my final piece, I would have loved to have knitted a vest to attach the collar to, but I really didn't have time and I'm not that good at kitting to create a garment. Although I haven't ever tried, maybe I should put that on my list of things to do...
The final sample you can see below, was knitted florists wire. It looks great, has great movement, but was really hard on my hands! Therefore a small sample, never to be repeated!
