This is the sixth in a series of blog posts about the Material Programming Project. We are developing malleable knitting software for the Kniterate, a semi-industrial knitting machine. This post is about some really exciting experiments adapting knit software to work in an experimental collaboration tool. The first post, on the Knitout project, is available here. We had the final kniterate programming workshop of the term yesterday, which was a nice way to finish off the series. Chee and Mimi from Ink and Switch joined, and we also spent a while together experimenting with adapting the forked Knitout Live Visualiser into their new tool Patchwork.
