Fairisle, a personal project in collaboration with graphic and knitting designer Luise Roberts

We designed a piece of javascript that would randomly generate Fairisle knitting patterns using Processing and the HYPE framework to output Adobe Illustrator files. We set some basic rules for repeat and stitch length but randomised the patterns and the colour ways. Luise knitted all the samples to the patterns supplied. This is a long term collaboration with the hope of outputting an installation, a sculpture or a fine art photographic print. www.luiseroberts.com
