Bristol has been experimenting with encoding words into lace knitting, so that you could, for instance, make a shawl that has the names of your children, or the words to a favorite poem. For instance, when she was experimenting with this idea, Bristol made a scarf that featured a knitted representation of the airport codes of all the places she traveled to in 2020.
