The construction lab
Switch between the face, loop and edge questions. The animated drawing is a conceptual teaching diagram, not a knitting plan, microscopy image or measured performance model.
Structure is illustrated, not specified or tested.
Surface reference
Identify the face and intended orientation before comparing photographs.
Carry this question to a brief ↗- Face: identify the visible side and orientation.
- Loops: review the intended construction with a physical specimen.
- Edge: include the actual joining or binding in the assembly review.
KEEP THE REFERENCE USEFUL
What travels with the sample?
Identify the material code, physical sample, finish, drawing and review date. Keep colour and appearance comments tied to that reference so a revised piece does not silently replace an earlier decision.
Ask the real supplier to confirm composition, agreed specification, relevant evidence and commercial terms. A saved demonstration record is a conversation aid, not a purchase approval.
