Twice a month, I create knitting stitch patterns using words as a basis. The words are suggested by my Patreon supporters and selected with an RNG.

The word I used this time was "myth": I encoded the letters as numbers, then charted the numbers on a grid, then worked out how to turn one of the results into knitted lace.

I also publish one of the results as a chart for any craft that uses them.

@gannet just for fun, have you checked out the β€˜skyknit β€˜ patterns on ravelry?
It’s AI doing knitting patterns.

@gannet I love the full-circleness of AI/computing and fiber arts, especially considering the link between weaving, punch cards and early computers.
