Subversion is at the heart of my knitting practice but how can stereotypical image knitter, kindly white-haired, white-skinned grandmother who knits out love, be successfully subverted to change public perceptions knitting? What will it take challenge and ultimately stereotype? This article examines contemporary media representations knitters from UK, USA Australia, revealing deep-rooted stereo...

In the face of detection problems posed by complex textile texture backgrounds, different sizes, and types defects, commonly used object networks have limitations in handling target sizes. Furthermore, their stability anti-jamming capabilities are relatively weak. Therefore, when more diverse, false detections or missed likely to occur. order meet stringent requirements defect detection, we pro...

The objective of this research was to determine the optimum speed a knitting machine. This study compared different parameters machine running at various speeds. For this, 22-inch diameter and 24 gauge with 66 feeders Ne yarn selected run 40 rotations per minute (r.p.m.).; 42 44 (r.p.m.) for total hours each speed. Data collected two days 12 each. causes stoppages were recorded their frequencie...

In this paper we investigate the relations between knitting and computer science. We show that the two disciplines share many concepts. Computer science, in particular algorithm theory, can suggest a lot of powerful tools that can be used both in descriptive and prescriptive ways and that apparently have not yet been used for creative knitting. The obtained results are short (optimal size) recu...
