Turbulence Spotlight: "knitPro" by microRevolt
http://turbulence.org/spotlight/microRevolt/index.html

"knitPro" is a program that translates digital images into knit,
needlepoint, x-stitch and crochet patterns. microRevolt uses "knitPro"
to make 'logoknits' – knitted garments with the logos of sweatshop
offenders. microRevolt is now accepting submissions for the "KnitPro
Needlecraft Art Show," an exhibit of needlecraft used from "knitPro"
patterns.

BIOGRAPHY

microRevolt projects investigate the dawn of sweatshops in early
industrial capitalism to inform the current crisis of global expansion
and the feminization of labor. microRevolt developed web application
knitPro, a protest tool that generates knit patterns of sweatshop
offenders. It was founded in 2003 by knit hobbyist Cat Mazza.
