[Knit, as a unit] Process video A
Recording the conversion process from 2D knitting to 3D unit, stitches and patterns.
Just like making tension swatch for garment production, I started testing on mesh with different “Unit volume” (Chunkiness) and “Gaps”(Tension).

"Unit to Surface"
The purpose of this experiment is to compose a 3D surface from unit concept, through textiles logic. It helps to visualise and translate stitch to another dimension.
Inspired by wearable research, this page focuses on exploring a subtle application of smart textiles that compares to the 3D printed sample, it should be more essential, for everyday wear.
Down jacket is an item that ticks all boxes. Conductive yarns stitching on the surface is indispensable and can be decorative.
“Motif” stands for a recurring subject in a narrative context, whereas, knit follows the same mathematics. By manipulating yarns through repetitive loops, it creates a counter-force between them that made knit stretchy, yet, stable.
After reconfigure knit from the unit - stitch, it naturally generates a knitting toolkit for non-knitters. This has inspired me to engage more people in this project, to test the possibility and effectiveness of the knitted unit.
