Jeni Allison Blue Digital Drape Blanket

Jeni Allison's work bridges the gap between the ancient art of fireside knitting and the latest developments in computer aided manufacture.  Her Blue Digital Drape blankets were designed using a digital model of hanging fabric, transposed into a 2D design and jacquard knitted into physical, lambswool blankets.  

The result has a fascinating character, subtly playing with our optical and tactile perceptions and expectations. The genius of mind, hand and machine working together to comfort, provoke and delight in equal measure.
