Editing Guerilla Knitting (section)

===New knitting===
My prototype is a 3D printed knitting loop that is multiplied and connects with each other so that it looks like the normal knitting technique. Because I made it with flexible material it can bend and be a bit reshaped. I used the flexible material because my intension is to use it for artistic clothing, so it comes in handy that it is bendable. The idea of this technique came from the first interview I did with Rénia and focused on the pain she has in her hands while knitting. This pain comes from knitting with the needles. Therefore I designed this prototype as a new way of knitting without using needles and creating pain from the hand movements. This is a different insight for knitting for the people who are interested. This 3D printed piece is made in Rhinoceros and can be customized or taken over by anyone with the online blueprints, so that makes this an open form. Putting this online is for limited people, because this it is not the pain solution for knitters. I can imagine that this is for very creative people who want to make, for example, a sweater from different material and with a different technique. It takes some time, but it can be a very artistic piece of art. You can customize the sizes of the loops to your design so it will fit all together. This will definitely not be the first 3D printed clothing, because Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen uses this 3D printing technique for quite some time in her collections.
