What is Freeform?


Raven

Recommended Posts

I cringe at the thought of freeform! I'm pattern challenged as it is. :no If one stitch is off, it's over. I could never be a tester! But, isn't freeform just another name for designing which leads to a pattern? :think I'll wait for the tested and corrected version. :hook

Oh, that sounds just like what I do! Except not so...everywhere. I make purses and such without patterns, mostly because I don't have enough patience to read the patterns. A lot of the things linked to were beautiful...I wish I could make things like that! But of course, mine would end up looking like a lot of random BS put together.

Oh wow, I didn't know there was a name for what I do. I never follow patterns for the toys I make my kids because they think normal baby dolls and the like are boring. *rushes off to look for her camera*

I make hats, working out the design as i go along, is that the same thing as freeform ?

 

Free-form is really hard to define. To me, it includes some randomness or irregularity in the stitches, or a quality of sculpture or mimicking a natural form.

 

If you want to look at examples, some freeformers to look for are Myra Wood http://www.myrawood.com/pages/fibers.html (personally I love her free-form lace), Prudence Mapstone http://www.knotjustknitting.com/ , James Walters and the late Sylvia Cosh http://www.crochet.nu/scjwc/#scrumbling , Jenny Dowde http://users.tpg.com.au/users/jdesigns/ lots on info here http://www.freeformcrochet.com/
