Art G.Shvecova (Design graphics - Purple stars_1412)
The gangโs all here! I had the enormous honor of doing the character art for Critical Roleโs second campaign; here are the Alpha portraits of the new party!
So the other night during D&D, I had the sudden thoughts that:
1) Binary files are 1s and 0s
2) Knitting has knit stitches and purl stitches
You could represent binary data in knitting, as a pattern of knits and purlsโฆ
You can knit Doom.
However, after crunching some more numbers:
The compressed Doom installer binary is 2.93 MB. Assuming you are using sock weight yarn, with 7 stitches per inch, results in knitted doom beingโฆ
3322 square feet
Factoring it outโฆ302 people, each knitting a relatively reasonable 11 square feet, could knit Doom.
Hi fun fact!!
The idea of aย โbinary codeโ was originally developed in the textile industry in pretty much this exact form. Remember punch cards? Probably not! They were a precursor to the floppy disc, and were used to store information in the same sort of binary code that we still use:
Hereโs Mary Jackson (c.late 1950s) at a computer. If you look closely in the yellow box, youโll see a stack of blank punch cards that she will use to store her calculations.
This is what a card might look like once punched. Note that the written numbers on the card are for human reference, and not understood by the computer.ย
But what does it have to do with textiles? Almost exactly what OP suggested. Now even though machine knitting is old as balls, I feel that there are few people outside of the industry or craft communities who have ever seen a knitting machine.ย
Hereโs a flatbed knitting machine (as opposed to a round or tube machine), which honestly looks pretty damn similar to the ones that were first invented in the sixteenth century, and hereโs a nice little diagram explaining how it works:
But what if you donโt just want a plain stocking stitch sweater? What if you want a multi-color design, or lace, or the like? You can quite easily add in another color and integrate it into your design, but for, say, a consistent intarsia (two-color repeating pattern), human error is too likely. Plus, it takes too long for a knitter in an industrial setting. This is where the binary comes in!
Hereโs an intarsia swatch I made in my knitwear class last year. As you can see, the front of the swatch is the inverse of the back. When knitting this, I put a punch card in the reader,
and as you can see, the holes (or 0โฒs) told the machine notย to knit the ground color (1โฒs) and the machine was set up in such a way that the second color would come through when the first color was told not to knit.
tl;dr the textiles industry is more important than people give it credit for, and I would suggest using a machine if you were going to try to knit almost 3 megabytes of information.

Way back on the 3rd October I pledged to complete at least two of the following for the #autumnwal17: 1 - #calebthemonster only needed some toenails but i needed to find some yarn first. 2 - The #spiceoflife jumper was the newest cast on of the lot. 3 - My #nurmilintushawl was cast on at Christmas and I had 1.5 sections to go. 4 - I had 2 more squares to complete for my #pinwheelscrapblanket. Now the cal has ended and I have finished three of these projects, with the fourth very near completion! I also managed to make flowers for one out of 5 of our wedding bouquets (no pics as they're a suprise). I am so happy ๐ Now to make a list for November.... . #crochetersofinstagram #crochetlove #amigurumi #crochetgirlgang #crochetconcupiscence #craftastherapy #yarnlove #yarnaddict #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knitaddict #laceknitting #knittingilove
