Examples of using coding for fiber arts projects:

• Creating and modifying patterns
• Finding and selecting patterns
• Robotic handiwork (knitting machine, embroidery machine)
• Modeling, simulating, visualizing, and rendering

Creating and Modifying Patterns

• Ih by Katie McLaughlin at PyCon 2019: https://us.pycon.org/2019/schedule/presentation/229/. Using Python and PIL, Katie turns pixel art into embroidery patterns. May be served here? ih-aas.glasnt.com. She also created a web service for creating embroidery patterns out of QR codes: qr.glasnt.com. Katie created a framed
