Coding and Knitting

I'm an IT engineer and a knitter and weaver (hobby level) too and I'm definitely on the same line of thought as you are. Thx for share this video!

Love this video! I have a question. I wonder if knowledge in the one field can be helpful in the other. I have been knitting my whole life (learned from my mum when I was little), but I have little experience with coding. Could then my background in knitting help me pick up coding quicker?

Enjoyed and shared on multiple networks. My fiber friends will enjoy this ^_^

"Hello wrold" ;) I'm an engineer, had to point this out. Great video!

Thank you for sharing! I’ll be sharing this with my husband this is exactly what I hand cooking up in my noggin. I’m currently venturing into creating a script on python that will help me generate knit garment patterns since I cant find one online. If you’ve found one please feel free to share it with me. That would be greatly appreciated 😊

I'm a computer science student but I've recently decided that I want to learn different art mediums. I am into drawing and 3D modeling and someday, I want to be into knitting, crochet, sewing, etc. Even pottery and wood carving if I could. :)

Screw it, I'm teaching myself knitting and my grandmother coding. 😂

Lovely video. I haven't poked around your youtube channel yet but have you ever tried flatbed machine knitting? With the usage of things like the knit tracer and punching actual punchcards to create patterns (especially for lace carriages which require several passes) it's really interesting.

Hey! Great video! I've always thought they're quite similar.

Hi Katie! I am a programmer and I have a question about knitting I did not know whom to ask, maybe you can answer it. :) Let's say we want to knit a scarf (rectangular shape) and we are considering the posibility of connecting both ends so that it ends up being a circular scarf, like a tape (or neck). But I do not want to think of it in the obvious way (stitching both ends together). Instead, I would like to end up with a process that requires no joining, no stithcing at all. I've seen there are "invisible" joins, but I think they are not much of what I am trying to convey. (well, maybe they do, idk) Let's think theretically for a bit. If I am not worng, a finished scarf made out of one uninterrupted piece of yarn is just the same piece of yarn that it was at the begining of the process, just more intertwined, so much that it now looks like a scarf if you look at it from a zommed out perspective. But if we zoom in, we can realize that it is just the same piece of yarn that we had hours ago. This piece has two ends, let's call them end A and end B. So my question would be if the following is possible: Regardless (for now) of the process to achieve it, could it be possible to have a connected scarf (circular tape) that never comes into a join, it just goes on an on forever by repeating itself? I like to explain this idea by pretending we can become tiny people and ride a tiny ship that can travel inside of the yarn like a tenis ball in a tube. Well if we travel through the yarn in the scarf we could enter through end A and get out from end B. If we connect A and B so that they form a loop, we can go on and on forever. Is there a way to arrange the knitting so that the connection of A and B comes naturally in a way it could be almost impossible to detect where the scarf starts and where it ends? I mean, so that there is no difference at al between the joining and the knitting. I have a couple of ideas on how this could be done, but given my lack of knowledge about knitting I find them really hard to explain, and they might also be nonsensical. But I would like to know if you think this is theoretically possible! Thanks!

Will share this in a workshop I'm doing on knitting dishcloths and coding, if that's okay.

I compare my lifelines to GitHub. I can go safely when I make a mistake.
