String + math = true geekery

Two pattern links I've just got to share:

Peter Robinson's Stochastic sweater, demonstrating random number strings in a two-dimensional plane,

and this child's sweater, which uses the same principles.

Too cool.

Oh, string peeps, the Winter '05 Knitty is out!

Honey, get your geek on...

Cable and cable scarf patterns for ladymurmur

This looks like the closest thing to what you said you're looking for. It's in a fairly high-end yarn, but it ought to do fine in just about anything.

If you want a bit more variety or challenge, or just want to stash the patterns for later, try:

A fairly simple braided cable scarf

Scarf for the Dulann project, which has a pair of nice twisted loop cables, with bobble centers.

Simple Celtic Cable...just the cable pattern, but easily done into a scarf.

More Celtic-style cable patterns, same author as above, not-so-simple, but NICE.

There are some cool patterns at helloyarn.com -- the Irish Hiking Scarf that you've probably seen 'round the net, and the Besotted Scarf, which is a relatively simple knit (that's the one I'm working on for By).



That ought to hold you for a while. If you don't see what you're looking for on this list, holler again, and I'll post some more.
