This is a great radio programme about the development of the Stich n
Bitch network through the internet, and the relationship between
crafts and programming. Lisa Williams says knitting is 'reverse engineering of clothing', and
describes the construction of garments from a single piece
of string, she says:
"Knitting gives me a lot of respect for my ancestors as hackers,
Knitting is source code - you look at a knitting pattern - that's the
code for a sweater. As we industrialise, more and more of the world
we experience comes in a black box. We know how to use things but we
don't know how they work. I've been de-black boxing my wardrobe."
