long time no post

Hey there. Jeez it's been ages, shaarrry. Here's a bit of an update on what I've been doing, and also 'cause I'm probably going to have to use this as a form of "online promotion" for one of my modules anyway, it's a little bit of that too.

First, for design development, we have to begin by researching the brand/customer of a certain designer. We got Yohji Yamamoto. Here are a few of the pages I've personally done so far..

Next, in garment techy, apart from learning how to use knitting machines, and (from monday) starting to make our own garment(!), we've had to do research boards every week. Well it's only been a week so I've only done one but hey,

Currently attempting to research "body shapes/blocks in knitwear". I have to go to town tomorrow and do a bit of primary though.

Went home for the weekend, it was nice. It was really really misty. I've decided mist is my favourite weather. But yeah, did a bit of chilling, a bit of shopping, bit of eating. You know. Also got this amazeee ring from Ding Dong Vintage, slowly starting to build up my jewellery collection.

Also went to the 20%-off student "lock-in" at Urban Outfitters last week, got a couple o goodies, which I will no doubt show you another time.

Anyway, better go work now, so I can hopefullys go see Jakwob on Tuesdayyyy. ♥ Barry.

Had a good haul from the Salvation Army yesterday, one of which was this lovely 100% silk shirt, which looks remarkably like something from American Apparel, but was only £1.25. Oh. Baby.

Also got the lovely chunky gold chain from there, and the rings from Ding Dong Vintage.

No doubt will be showing you more of my charity shop finds soon, but they're all in the wash atm.

Going to Leeds tomorrow to see Mitchell. I am not going to go anywhere near my house, it's making me physically sick right now.

P.s. sorry about the grain-factor Photo Booth pics, my camera batteries are charging.
