What to do last?

Just before I set out for Paris, I decided to say good-bye to London in my own little ceremonial way, which is to take a stroll to some of my favourite places in town. It includes a cafe latte and croissant at Monmouth, visit both Tate Modern and Tate Britain, and a gathering at Korean restaurant with new friend and old friends. To me, it was a perfect day.

In 7 days, I'm going to France- my dream land. I have never showed much interest in this place, cause it has always been too far away from me. Until I come to London. I will keep updating ma expérience française via constant leak, hopefully through photographs, art work, or scribblings I could record a piece of it.

Summer has finally arrived in London!?

17 days at Julia's Studio

My work includes: Domestic machine knitting- garment shaping, textured pattern surface making. Linking- connecting strips of knitting. Finishing- pressing, cleaning up edges, mounting samples, and photo shooting. Winding yarns, industry machine sewing, and hand stitching into garment. Julia has a high standard of how she wants her knittings to be done, which is good for me to practice doing things in a professional sense. I was involved in the process from actual making to finishing, and organising them to be presented at Pitti Filati (yarn and knitwear fair at Florence, Italy ). Although I didn't get to design, I am glad that the work I have done are all related to my specialisation as a textile design student. Perhaps in a year or two I get to develop design for fashion houses or knitwear studios. Another aspect I learnt from this experience is that being reliable is important. There were a couple times that I failed to deliver it, but Julia was really patient with my error. Overall, she is quite pleased with my performance. Starting next week, I'm off to Jane's studio!
