Random Stripe Generator - "generate random stripe patterns for knitting sweaters, scarves, blankets, etc."
If I had time and energy and desire, I would write a program to generate Fibonacci sequence or Lucas number stripes with an option to repeat from X to Y and/or go up and down from A to B.
Fibonacci sequence examples:
- X=1 (note that 1 is minimum number of rows)
- Y=6 (# steps up from X) [which is 13 in this case]
- repeat (uses X and Y)
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...
- Z=5 (# steps down from Y) [which is 1 in this case]
- up/down (uses X, Y, and Z)
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 8 5 3 2 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...(photo 1)1 1 2 3 5 8 13 13 8 5 3 2 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...(photo 2)
- Z=6 (# steps down from Y) [which is also 1 in this case]
- up/down (uses X, Y, and Z)
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 8 5 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...1 1 2 3 5 8 13 13 8 5 3 2 1 1 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...
- X=3
- Y=4 (# steps up from X)
- repeat (uses X and Y)
3 5 8 13 21 3 5 8 13 21 ...
- Z=5 (# steps down from X)
- up/down (uses X, Y, and Z)
3 5 8 13 21 13 8 5 3 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...3 5 8 13 21 21 13 8 5 3 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...
- Z=6 (# steps down from X)
- up/down (uses X, Y, and Z)
3 5 8 13 21 13 8 5 3 2 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...3 5 8 13 21 21 13 8 5 3 2 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...
- Z=7 (# steps down from X)
- up/down (uses X, Y, and Z)
3 5 8 13 21 13 8 5 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...3 5 8 13 21 21 13 8 5 3 2 1 1 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...










If you do decide to write that program, or if you come across one, I'd love to hear about it!
Hi, Deb - Wouldn't it be useful?! I searched for something yesterday and didn't find this type of program - yet... Maybe someone will find this request and write such a program - maybe ScriptyGoddess (http://www.scriptygoddess.com/)! I have some scripting / programming experience but little desire to do it at home!
