Fresh from a nap, go trolling for sweater patterns and what do I find:

Fuzzy Galore - Free patterns

which contains links for sweaters based on polynomials, fibonacci series, and probability (roll of dice chooses which cable pattern to use). Truly, Geek magic! To which I am now adding my own possibilities:

"John Kerry" in braille is:

.. .x x. x. xx .. .. x. x. x. x. xx

.. xx .x xx .x .. .. .. .x xx xx .x

.x .. x. .. x. .. .x x. .. x. x. xx




knit, knit     knit, purl     purl, knit    etc, 

pattern would repeat over 3 rows

"John Kerry for President" in Morse code is:

.--- --- .... -. / -.- . .-. .-. -.-- / ..-. --- .-. / .--. .-. . ... .. -.. . -. -

Dots are "knit" and dashes are "purl". You can separate letters or words with a fancy drop stitch or separate the words with a bobble. I should change the title of this blogging to "Free Patterns".

You can encode the phrase of your choice here:

Morse Code and Phonetic Alphabets

In homage to Madame Defarge, an enemies list: (the site also decodes)

--. . --- .-. --. . / -... ..- ... .... / -.. .. -.-. -.- / -.-. .... . -. . -.-- / -.- .- .-. .-.. / .-. --- ...- . / .--- --- .... -. / .- ... .... -.-. .-. --- ..-. - / .-. .. -.-. .... .- .-. -.. / .--. . .-. .-.. .

Add your own. It would make a lovely scarf.
