Laurent MalysI had fun with my electronic knitting machine this week-end.
Here is the result: a cushion cover.
The pattern is from a 1d cellular automata algorithm made with #p5js
🧶Half a year later, here is the second side.

consumableJoy@lo Wow, fascinating.
Tom Forsyth@lo Can you say which rule? Looks a bit like "rule 30" but not quite.
@TomF The rule is not uniform. I dont know which ones are used on this one.

Cool! What machine is this and what does the electronic do? 🤔
Something to do with the pattern I guess?

@AasaMariaHedberg It's a Brother Electroknit KH950i.
The electronic select the needles as the carriage is passing by and it create a fairisle pattern.
And with a little bit of hacking you can program the pattern from your computer.

Wow, that's nice! I inherited my grandma's knitting machine similar to this, but all steel and non electric. 😊

Stéphanie Vilayphiou@AasaMariaHedberg @lo still you can do a lot with it, you should give it a try!
@vvvvvilay
I should! And I did but it was something about how complicated the instructions were that I never even got to the threading of any test yarn.
Sad actually... Maybe a new try this Christmas when at home.

Yes the manuals are sometimes not so clear... But there many tutorials on YouTube. "The answer lady knits" has videos on many machine brands. It should do the trick!
