Over two weekends, Rüdiger Schlömer will show how to knit a monogram, name tag, instagram meme, poster, scarf, pullover, or blanket during this online typeknitting workshop. Use your skills as a visual plug-in to create tactile lettering and produce objects and clothes, or simply as a typographic meditation.
First, attendees will get an overview of various knitting methods and look for connection points to personal knitting and graphic design projects. All participants will begin with the typeface Knit Hello which was developed specifically for beginners in typographic knitting. Knitting and sketching exercises will be done using techniques like slip-stitches, mosaic knitting, and illusion knitting. After basic introduction, we will experiment with word and pattern layouts as well as modifying or constructing letterforms. We will also sketch and knit single letterforms and repeat patterns in different scales, helping you to develop patterns of your own.
