6 months of research, sketching, sampling, more sketching, toiles, spending money, stressing out, sketching, planning and constructing is finally over. Here is the end result.
2 WEEKS OF STRAIGHT KNITTING.....
Sat in the knitting room 9:00 - 19:00 bent over the knitting machine banging out a dress. The pattern itself was relatively simple but the fact that i had decided to individually place each strand of yarn in order to create a fluffy feathery texture turned it into a painstakingly slow process.

All for a 10 minute presentation!?!?
Barely even a flick through my sketchbook!
Final thoughts...... I feel slightly hysterical at the minuscule amount of attention given to my dress but at the same time i am glad to see it complete, and Even more ecstatic to not be sat in the knitting room anymore.
I would like to give a special thanks to Flo Martin, Hayley Brown and Elly Peers for Photocopying, cutting threads, helping with knitting the last sleeve, modelling and photographing! Thanks guys!! mwah!
