Binary Code Yarn Project Challenge

In September, the group Spin a Good Yarn was given a challenge to use
binary code for inspiration in their next project. Binary code is used by
computers. The code assigns a string of eight digits to represent each
letter of the alphabet for the computer to read. For example, the capital
letter A is 01000001 while the lowercase a is 01100001.

The group was asked to be creative and use this code in their patterns to
write a name or a favorite saying. 0 and 1 could be knit and pearl stitches.
They could be color changes or even a single crochet and double crochet.
Binary Code Yarn Project Challenge show and tell is at Spin a Good
Yarn’s first meeting in 2015 on January 8 at 7 p.m.

Spin a Good Yarn is a fiber arts group that meets at the library twice a
month on the second and fourth Thursday at 7 p.m. The group is for
adults but all ages and skill levels are welcome to join us as we work on
our projects and discuss books and current events.
