Since 1997 the author has designed knitwear models as a
free-lancer for Mobimek Ltd., an enterprise located in Lappeenranta and
producing knitted beanie hats for sales promotion purposes. The author has
combined the making process of the annual knits collection with her final
project work. Due to the fact that the author lacks proper training in the
field of knits she has frequently had some technical problems with the knit
designs she has offered to the firm. Thus, it has been important for the
author to get better acquainted with knit techniques, especially jacquard
technique used in making knitted beanie hats. The second objective of the
final project work has been to do research work on traditional ornaments
and their suitability in knits design. The ornaments in question have been
the source for the authorīs ideas in designing the knitted beanie hats
collection. Furthermore, the author wanted to increase her knowledge of the
business strategy of Mobimek Ltd.
The resulting product of the authorīs final project work is the promotional
knitted beanie hats collection to Mobimek Ltd. by using jacquard technique
and traditional ornaments. The authorīs intention has been to develop her
own professional competence as a knits designer so that she could be a more
competitive free-lancer in the field of knits design at present as well as
in the future. |
