I have had quite a few special orders lately. All of which were hats. I'm getting pretty good at hats. :p A majority of them deal with unique designs. So, an example of one is a local high school sports team. You may be wondering how I design said hats. Well, it's actually quite simple. I use a program called Knit Design Studio by Savannah Winds Studio. The program is free, so if you're a knitter you can definitely download it and use it yourself! It does have a couple set backs, but this is not the post for that. The first hats I did I had to do free style. The purchaser gave me artistic reign over the design, so I had a bit of fun. It was for a local sports team that didn't have a whole lot of visuals online for me to follow. The mascot design on the school's homepage was too complex for a child's hat, too. I ran with it. Here is one of the designs I used. As you can see, I have an alternative lettering for 'OWLS' above the big 'H.' The 'W' in the original word wasn't quite right, so I needed to fix it. The draw back is that the program doesn't let you just erase squares willy nilly. You have to go and undo in order, or at least that's all I've found I can do. If anyone reading this is a bit more knowledgeable about the program and can tell me otherwise, please do! Another design I've had the privileged of doing is for a small business. In this case they already had a business design, so I did my best to follow it. I think it turned out pretty well! The top is the original and the bottom is my design using the Knit Design studio. I hope to be able to share more of my designs with you as I do them on my own or receive special orders. It's quite a delight to see something I've made on 'paper' be created into something knit!
