I think you're quite productive with the time you have!<BR/><BR/>Lavendersheep, what another great idea! Thank you for mentioning it. I'll have to add it to my list of "must tries."Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-46825698611496928352008-08-09T10:59:00.000-05:002008-08-09T10:59:00.000-05:00Your barcode stripes are so interesting.

There are binary generators online where you can type in the word and it gives the 1s and 0s. Each letter is an 8 bit block. From that I have knit stripes using a color for the 1s and black for the 0s. It came out pretty neat.LavenderSheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653603841847369961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-16824342515511296542008-08-08T23:05:00.000-05:002008-08-08T23:05:00.000-05:00I know - can you believe that Valerie pointed out ...I know - can you believe that Valerie pointed out her missed block?! I thought her fabric was spectacular. Aren't we our own harshest critics? As always, you astound me with your inquisitive investigations. I'm still trying to finish treading for Ms and Os dishtowels. That's why I enjoy your blog - I can't keep up with you but I can read up with you.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-71616906252253869412008-08-07T12:03:00.000-05:002008-08-07T12:03:00.000-05:00Peg, I think that's why designing my own is so muc...Peg, I think that's why designing my own is so much more satisfying than using a project pattern. I'm still capable of making mistakes either way, but on my own, I not only learn more, but I enjoy the process more. <BR/><BR/>Bettina, I love the idea of barcode striped socks! You've just given me an idea for Christmas gifts!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-62751090792447374102008-08-07T10:24:00.000-05:002008-08-07T10:24:00.000-05:00I thought at first that I'd just enlarge my barcod...I thought at first that I'd just enlarge my barcode, print it out and measure the percentages. but then I realised that if I use them in knitting - I can just use the enlarged printout and put the grid on, that I usually need for picture knitting etc. same as for you, the printout didn't match the grid 100 % - but well enough to let me count rows and stitches! I think it'll be a while until I start the socks with the barcode though - I started the shadow knitting lion yesterday and I don't want to end up with 12 single socks with different hp patterns in a box:) very tempting with socks!<BR/>looking forward to the "woven barcode":)Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-79314396129765981852008-08-07T09:38:00.000-05:002008-08-07T09:38:00.000-05:00How ingenious!

If there is something the system would have you do which doesn't quite work, you are quite free to change it. The systemic calculation is only the beginning of the design. You have to decide if you like everything about that design.Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.com
