Yesterday I attended #BarCampLondon for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were many interesting sessions, creating patterns using p5.js, Savannahhq.com looking at the health of online communities and lots more.

I gave a presentation on #OpenSource #Embroidery, looking at @turtlestitch and @inkstitch

Our #TurtleStitch resources are available here: warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch

»Creative Computing was one of the earliest magazines covering the microcomputer revolution. Published from October 1974 until December 1985, Creative Computing covered the whole spectrum of hobbyist/home/personal computing in a more accessible format than the rather technically oriented BYTE.«

I certainly know BYTE magazine, but I'm totally new to Creative Computing: archive.org/details/creativeco

A stitched pattern made of up lines of triangles, where each triangle is is filled with a swirling pattern of smaller triangles. It uses variegated thread so the triangles appear in different colours.
