Patterns, generated from knitting machines, punched into music paper & fed through grinder organs. Also the different growth patterns of Yeast, E. coli and Lichen, and the natural rhythms of timber grain. (Music links go to SoundCloud.) [via]

I suspect you'd get much more pleasing results by knitting songs than by playing knitting patterns. You could do a colourwork pattern or something that was just a nubble texture for more subtlety.

Love this! Related self-link: Knit One, Compute One. It's a talk I've given about a dozen times over the past six months in Australia and Asia, about the similarities between knitting patterns and computer code.

I spent a lot of time trying to explain the relationship between knitting and coding to people for years, so that presentation is great!

I've recently moved on to explaining the relationship between coding and law , so if anyone has a nice YouTube video covering that, feel free to let me know.
