Jan/20 Tue 01:00PM-04:00PM

Jan/21 Wed 01:00PM-04:00PM

Enrollment: Advance sign-up appreciated but not required

If you ever wanted to know the link between knitting and programming this is the workshop for you. A knitting pattern is actually a more or less complex algorithm with the difference being that the output is directly wearable like 3D printing. The 1st day we will review fundamentals, learn basics and start a small project (hat, scarf or bag depending on skills), and the 2nd day we will work on the project. Students will have to get their own supplies but can contact the instructor for help in type/quantities of wool and needles.

Sponsor(s): Comparative Media Studies/Writing
