R help - Feb 2012 - an unusual use for R

I thought some of you might be amused by this.

In my non-work time, I'm an avid weaver and teacher of weaving. I'm
working on a project involving creating many detailed weaving
patterns, so I wrote R code to automate it.

Details here:

If the overlap between R users and avid tablet weavers turns out to
be
>> 1, I'll polish it up and turn it into a package.

Brilliant Sarah !  I love seeing such unexpected and creative applications.

I'm not a weaver but am a knitter (and a knotter actually) and have
mused about using R to help design elements of textured knitting
patterns e.g. as seen in single-colour, traditional fisherman's
jumpers from England and Scotland.  I've yet to do anything more than
muse though.

Hope it turns into a package :)

Well,  I have to say, how nice to find a valid use for "string theory"
:-) .

Now that we all know you are in fact the "mistress of skulls," guess
we
better tread lightly!

Nice,

Last year I found that my office needed some decoration and my wife
has some fancy sewing machines that can be programmed to do embroidery
and cross-stitch.  So I designed some cross stitches (using R and the
program for the machines) that show distribution functions and
equations for the Central Limit Theorem, Bayes Theorem, and the Mean
Value Theorem of Integration and my wife stitched them out for me.  I
certainly get varied comments when people see them.

Nice to know there are others who mix R, Statistics, and Textile crafts.

I love it.  I hope you are planning a talk at the UseR!2012 in Nashville.

Do remember the history that one of the origins of punchcards is the
Jaquard loom.
