A post-structuralist view on knitting, knitting without threads.

Looking at the semiotics (system of signs) of knitting. Identifying the single stitch as an identifier (the single unit, the font). Transforming the basic form of the unit, by recognizing the necessary parts of the stitch crucial for the forming of the knit and building new fonts for knitting. Building patterns (sentences) of knitting courses. Printing the patterns onto textiles, deconstructing the textiles into graphical patterns by the process of burning out the surface of the textiles, using the print as an obstruct. Reconstructing it back into a new surface by threading into a new surface, a new identified.
