Typotricot 1: calligraphy filiaire

Slightly off-topic, because it's not about typography, calligraphy here. And it's not strictly knitting, even if it remains in the wool and son theme. Moreover, the knitters are not the only ones using this string (ha ha, pun of good quality), since we also found on blogs embroidery, sewing, etc.. It is written with thread. A few examples among many:

Knit1 blog1 (logo): clever parallelism wool / cable
Stricken

Lea Redmond writes with a coil of wire
illegible ti amo written by a cord with Melusina done knitting machine knitting
CD cover Quebec group named

I myself have used a similar trick for the logo of my site Ibérica de punto, but this thread is not calligraphic but mapping:



calligraphy filiaire This process reminds me of the 1970s when they were often seen in books and magazine titles in cursive calligraphy using a rope or string, but this was not drawing pictures. I have not managed to find specimens, but it was quite common. If you have a good example of the process under the elbow, please not to send it to me. I will be happy to add it to my doc '.

Typotricot

Typography is a subject that fascinates me always and it was inevitable that one day I turn on the confluence of the meshes and characters. I stacked and categorized a list of examples in my head. Both post here to benefit others, although I guess it does fascinate a minority.

So before we begin, I share with you all Knitting Letters: A to Z , one of my favorite blogs right now, you can admire the beautiful knits while the typography leaves you cold (Pun unintended but occasional), especially since they are highlighted each time by an extensive bibliography and thorough documentation. A real gem, this Union Purl. The project resumed in the blog is to knit an alphabet, each letter being the initial technique used to reproduce or police or illustrated style knits mentioned.

If you're in the minority on that passion, I also pointed Wooly Type the Ravelry group she founded to fondues foundries. I put maybe my links there too.

So far, my forays personal in the field are quite limited. While I knitted a pair of socks on which included a poem by Pablo Neruda, but I followed a model where the book Socks Socks Socks.

The only time I created my own "knitting typo" is the last year, when I knitted for the daughter of Jennifer and Miquel (from yarn store Knit All You Love Is Barcelona) a version of the pullover bib when I replaced the lines of the first by his first name (Tura) at a rate of one letter per pan. I never posted this photo of knitting, then this is the opportunity to repair this oblivion.
