Knitting/weaving on a surface

I just finished a short tutorial on producing a knitted fabric (specifically the stockinette pattern) on any Rhino surface using the beloved GH.



You can read it here, and download the definition for a chained pattern as well.

      Great work!
      I tried doing this back in 2003 using an early GenerativeComponents but it was really hard work and required a lot of custom code. In the end I abandoned the GC version and got something half working in RhinoScript a few years later.
      The real catch is to find a way to simulate the elasticity and "springyness" of an actual material for it to be applicable to any physical manufacturing.

        This pattern give me a cool idea to make a cover for a cushion. I'll do with a Australian really bulky yarn (made to hand knit) that you can buy in this knitting supplies online store.
