This project is a textile exploration through which we use new knitting material and technology to extend traditional knitting technique to a new level. We ran various knitting tests with a mix of polyester thread and meltable TPU thread, then use heat to melt TPU part to create the visual effect of knitting pattern being embedded in translucent film. In terms of utilizing, we use plastic bag as a symbolic medium to show the mingling of modern and traditional. This exploration is our way to discuss a potential of traditional crafting integrating into modern technology.
