Elektroknit!
summary
Converts color photos into knit-ready two‑color bitmaps by reading pixel arrays from a canvas with Canvas API, applies convolution kernels for blur/sharpen/edge detection, and uses ordered dithering to turn grayscale into 1‑bit patterns. Parallelizes heavy pixel work with web workers, packs output into a Uint8ClampedArray and exports a downloadable image, then uploads that to an electric Electroknit knitting machine (60‑needle width) to produce scarves and sweaters — the pipeline is implemented and demonstrated end to end.
