Cyn of the Half-assed Knit blog created an original goat cable pattern and shared the instructions on her blog. She created it because of a typo on a Ravelry forum. The typo has revealed that the knitting public is really interested in cabled goats. Link.

Myriads of Mushrooms

Knitfeltmushrooms
Grace and Alice of Kathryn Ivy point us to their Myriads of Mushrooms free knitting pattern. There are five simple cap patterns and two stem patterns that you can mix and match to create a whole mushroom garden! This pattern knits up very fast, and is great for crafters who want to try felting on a small scale. Link.

Knitted Companion Cube from Portal

Some nice lady made this knitted Companion Cube from the video game Portal. She released very specific instructions and helpful pictures so you can make your own, plus she released the pattern under a Creative Commons license. This was mentioned in the comments of the Guerilla Knitting talk I posted yesterday. - Link.

24C3: The History of Guerilla Knitting

At the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, Rose White gave a talk about the history of knitting in relation to computing/hacker culture. You can download a video of the lecture, and look at the conference page. She talks about how the industry has evolved to support free information sharing, much like open source software. She covers knitting in public spaces as well as some contemporary knitted artwork being done in a more traditional gallery setting, then goes on to discuss how technology and the internet is shaping the state of the art. I'm particularly pleased that this talk happened at a place like C3, and will be curious to see how much deeper the connection between computing and crafting can be explored. - [via] Link.
