The Beauty and Creativity in art through a cultural lens
The right look, the right feel, the right...everything. When an artist goes through the process of making a product, there are many variables they have to consider. From creation to finished item, these are not just things that are done on a whim. Owning a small business for example. What goods or services do you wish to provide? Is there a demand for your product or service? These simple questions can save you many a headache in the future. But sometimes a unique but modern concept hits you and you have the zeal and desire to see it through. Crochet design, yes some of you maybe asking, isn't knitting and crochet the same thing? And the answer is.............No. So I did some more research on it to add to the feature of the small business "Stitches and Company.
Before we dive into the world of knitting versus crocheting. Let us find out more on the company "Stitches and Company". First of all I must say the name is pretty cool and rolls off the tongue easily...somewhat. Now try saying Stitches and Company five times fast.
Founded in 2016, Stitches and Company is an independent clothing brand which brings an eclectic approach to crochet creations. Each piece, drawing its inspiration from a world of art embedded in Trinbagonian culture, is designed and individually hand-crafted by designer Melanie Pantin. Every design is a contemporary work of art, quality that can only be derived through the care and attention of the hands that put it together for you, one stitch at a time. Now let's explore the world of crocheting a little more closely, and how it stacks up against knitting.
