treeskinAnother for the "strange enough I've got to share" category: plate tectonics scarf (for the geology geeks)
For my computer geek peeps, the essay HEX and BIN, meet my friends Knit and Purl.
And, if I can find it, I've seen references to a "viral knitting project", which made a series of pieces of art knitting, rendering the binary code of the Code Red computer virus as textured knitting. (As I understand the bits I've seen, it was intended as policital commentary, on the color coded "terror alerts".) I'm still looking. All I've found so far are summaries of the aims of the project, and a couple of blurry photos of something that could be a bright red scarf. There's a brief discussion of the project here.
