Text-based communications are made from millions of hidden zeros and ones that we entrust our phones to interpret for us. The Knitwitter app encodes your texts into binary patterns so that we can carefully knit encoded messages instead. If you are familiar with knitting needles or a crochet hook (or you’ve always wanted to learn), head to the Knitwitter site to encode and knit your own messages. Tag pictures of your creations with #knitwitter hashtag to be part of the knitted database of yarn!
