Knit Your Own Adventure with Xandy Peters.
Put down that pattern and create your own rules of knitting! In this lecture we will explore colorwork, texture, or lace using parametric (rule based) guides instead of restrictive instructions. The temperature blanket is a well-known example of algorithmic knitting. This popular pattern is knit according to one rule: work one stripe per day in a color determined by the temperature outside. Unlike a traditional pattern that always produces the same result, projects based on parameters and rules have an element of randomness. We will discuss how to create unique and unrepeatable stitch motifs and colorwork based on anything from the roll of dice to the number of steps you take in a day. This is the lecture version of Intro to Algorithmic knitting.
Xandy will be joining us on Zoom.
Doors open at 6:30 PM
