I'm Totally In A Rabbit Hole, And I'm About To Make The Dress Tomorrow

As I listen to music theory lectures... this is the opposite of mixolydian.

Enjoyed the bubble sounds!

Yup

The snow makes it hard to get out and walk safely. Which means getting into a car and driving to a store to go for a walk.

Getting into and out of the car is the hardest part. I regularly throw mini tantrums because my partner has to lift one of my legs into the foot-well.

It's only been a week and a half since the surgery. I shouldgive myself more grace.

Textiles are the origins of technological advancement. It's part of why it's so frustrating that archeologists used to dismiss cloth scraps as detritus to be cleaned from the "real" (metal) finds.

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 purls…

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 being…

3322 square feet

Factoring it out…302 people, each knitting a relatively reasonable 11 square feet, could knit Doom.

Good lort. Do you want to learn how to control your stich length? Take up shashiko. It's just a running stitch, but you have to make sure that thry are all the same length and that the curve is equally divided.

My stitches are still too short.
