‘THE LOOPING’ questions the conventional way of creating knitwear. During the research process Tony Lee discovered that machine knitting and hand knitting are very different and therefore can be seen incompatible to each other. In ‘THE LOOPING’ Tony Lee breaks the boundary between machine-made and handcrafted textile by blending the machine and hand knitting techniques in one process. Through this unique approach Tony Lee emphasises that knitting should not only be considered as a stretch material but also as an interlooping structure.
