In 2022 the UK faced the uncertainty of ‘The Cost-of-Living Crisis’. During Winter 2022, the crisis started to affect the rising prices of essentials, food, energy bills and lifestyle. Many were unprepared for this and so were forced to choose between buying food or heating their homes. This collection looks to provide a short term solution using knitwear. 'Heat My Home' is an experimental project seeking to situate my practice within knitwear and challenge my current skills. I have researched into insulation, food banks - and how these are protective/long lasting. From this project, I have developed my skills within Dubied, Shima Seiki, Dyeing fabrics and more.
