  1. Maggi Toner-Edgar Thinking Cap no.1: from digital lace to paper yarn letters

  2. Digital lace from previous research

  3. These digital designs were created from handwritten and drawn concept maps scanned and manipulated This informed the design of the 3D piece. Giving repeat patterns in circular form. Concept map below.

  4. Long Hairpin crochet tool created from knitting needles with a removable end

  5. The tool allows for approx 250 stitches, which will allow for the larger circles

  6. The hairpin crochet is worked up the centre of the loops with a simple chain stitch

  7. The crochet is threaded onto a brim reed and secured into a circle.

  8. Process alterations The process of creating this piece was frustrating at first as the circles did not lie flat enough to offer a stable form of connection. In order to make the connections stronger I had to break them all then insert a mechanism that kept them connected in a better way. The strange thing about this piece is that all through the process as with every other textile piece I create the action taken mirrored my own personal context. At this point I had connected all the circles through each other. I wanted the freedom and stability to create the larger conical form that could grow to any size. Having achieved the form the shape needed further stability - created using the geometric lacing, which echoed the diamond forms in my digital lace surface designs.
