Fuck Yeah Geek and Nerd Knits!

NeuroKnitting

Project uses brainwave activity to create generative knitting patterns - video embedded below:

We have plotted brainwave activity into a knitted pattern. Using a wearable, non-invasive EEG headset, we recorded users' affective states while listening to Bach's "Goldberg Variations", concretely the aria and its first seven variations. The audio was about 10 minutes long and we downsampled each second of the signal coming from the 14 channels of the EEG device. Three main features were measured: relaxation, excitement, and cognitive load.  After recording, those features were converted into a knitting pattern. Hence, every stitch of a pattern corresponds to a unique brain state stimulated by the act of listening. It means the user's affective response to music is captured every second and memorised in the knitted garment pattern.

"Tall Tiger" pattern found at: http://www.browneyedbabsknits.com/tall-tiger.html   Knitted by "FlyingEagleClaw".

Due to my beginner knitting status, I had to teach myself several new techniques to complete this one and the most difficult concept for me to pick up was intarsia in the round. Her instructions are fantastic, I just couldn't grasp the concept of intarsia. That's why Hobbes' tummy is a bit wrinkled and lumpy.  All in all, this was a fun project. It took me a few months, but I will attempt another one soon.

thatsweetmysteryoflife:

I finished my pair of Winter Soldier gloves! (Ages ago. Whoops. I'm very behind on pictures.) Forgot to take a picture of the pair I made for Erin, but they look remarkable similar.

I'm really pleased with them.

thedoctorknits:

Welcome to the knitting world Gallifrey! These charts are based on the Circular Gallifreyan alphabet created by Loren Sherman. They include the basic vowels, consonant, and punctuation along with a link with a description of how they are all supposed to be put together.

Each individual letter is charted and circle charts are provided so that you can design your own words and sentences. An example of how that is done is the last photo. The charts themselves are hosted here in pdf. Note that these have only been preliminarily tested and since my tension in the first swatch was seriously screwy, that photo isn't up.

Skill Level: Advanced

Love the hats in this shop. I wanna try and make my own Iron Man hat. I'd buy one but I'm piss poor.

You should definitely check this store out and buy something cool if you can. Best hats I've seen.

knitwriterepeat:

Made myself a "Saddlebag" from My Little Pony. The apple chart was actually a crochet chart for a tote bag but I think I did pretty good. Switching to intarsia was definitely a good idea for this.
