Diagrammatic codes used for crochet, knit and needlelace
stitches. These are standard crochet codes in common usage, but
the knit and needlelace codes have been invented to provide a
more 3D interpretation. Textile process - crochet - knit -
needlelace Stitch - will vary according to process Form - start
with sphere – disk – tube – spiral – pyramid Dimensions - number
of stitches – rows - iterations Materials Colour Surface
modifications picot – spike – loop – frill – ridge hole –
indentation – raised found objects wax – paint – varnish Each
variable will have either a discreet series or range of values
eg. rows / stitches will have values with upper / lower limits,
while process will have values of knit, crochet or needlelace.
The preliminary experiment will confirm or modify the variables
and their values. Sampling might be part or a complete specimen,
enough to see what works. Stitch size and tools (hook /
needlesize) will be determined by the sampler. Ideas– genetics,
