I found this super practical tool last night! patternpunchknit.com/

Also about surprised because of the people who made it:
Mathgrrl does a lot of fiberarts (and math) at mathgrrl.com and
Roger Antonsen was a really fun and engaging lecturer 🕊️

I like this prediction for 2032:

"6 years: Typing code by hand will go the way of punch cards"

Actually, I'm so old, I learned programming with punch cards. The university I studied used the oldest stuff for the first semester programming course: punch cards and a Control Data CYBER 172.

Vanishing Culture: Punch Card Knitting | Internet Archive Blogs

Punch cards are a fascinating binary data storage format that aren’t just history—they’re still used by knitting machines today! Thanks to the Internet Archive and other collections, we still have access to historic punch cards, but there are some technical challenges to using them in the format they’re stored in. Meet a few folx working on those challenges.

The image shows a patterned grid labeled "CARD 1." The grid is composed of numerous small squares, each containing either a black dot or being left blank. The pattern is predominantly diagonal, with clusters of black dots forming a zigzag design. The black dots are outlined in red, making the pattern more distinct. The grid is numbered from 1 to 60 on the right side, with numbers increasing from top to bottom. The pattern appears to be symmetrical along the vertical axis, with the design elements mirrored on either side. The overall layout is organized and structured, with the black dots creating a visually striking contrast against the white background.

Super Blue Moon 24 (2024)
25 x 50 cm
Hand-dyed embroidered wool on perforated aluminum.

This piece is the culmination of a 6-month journey, creating a color palette influenced by the plants I eat, suburban flowers I encounter on my way to the studio, and experimenting with food scraps as dyes. The title comes as a reference to moon cycles happening when I created the embroidery.

Orange: onion skins
Blue: red cabbage
Brown 1: coffee
Brown 2: dried elderberries
Light green: thyme

1-4. Super Blue Moon 24 (2024)
5. Yarn drying at the studio
6. Metal Flower - Horizon: Zero Dawn
7. Wild carrot and nettles
8. Elderberry flowers
