My alma mater had its senior fashion show a few weeks ago and I wanted to share a few knitted garments from the show.

I'm always intrigued by knitted garments on the runway mainly because I am curious about the construction techniques. How'd they get that to do that? Did they knit it by hand or on a machine? Where'd the designer get the yarn? Is any part of the garment sewed?

Going back to school and getting my degree in fashion is something I've seriously considered the past few years. Although, I keep asking myself what I'd do with my new degree after spending $40k+ on tuition, living expenses in NYC, and expensive design school supplies, all just because I just want to learn how to sketch, design, make patterns, and sew. Oh well, maybe in another life...

You could always attempt to teach yourself.

My room mate is a 4th year fashion student (and I am 4th year graphic design student) at UC and she said that the project in the first two pictures wasn't in the show. It is actually a project conceived in a knitwear studio class. Still, very interesting.
