In an introductory class to the infinite techniques of machine knitting, I began multiple attempts to express the inherent nature knit has as a vehicle for linguistic expression.

Each sample attempts to convey the code of knit, using the " ^ " knit symbol, and other signs that suggest code, cursive writing, pictograms, sheet of paper, and paper materials.
