Blog post: Knitting in Code

Mario and pacman eat your heart out -- it doesn't get much geekier than this: A subset of nerdy knitters are parading their geek credentials by converting messages into binary using a tool like this online translator, incorporating the code into a pattern and knitting it into garments with surprisingly stylish results!
I was particularly impressed by this trompe l'oeil heart pattern that has been knit into a jumper-to-be. The text, when translated back into ordinary, non geek speak says says "i love you" over and over and over again, which is cute (but possibly a danger if you don't want to attract hordes of potential geek mates!)
