The idea started with my bad knitting experience. I wanted to create an annoying, failed, interactive knitting piece and final product will be a colorful chaos, with entanglement, disconnection...etc. The intention of this project was to use orderly code to simulate a kind of ‘’unorderly’’, chaos, but still beautiful at the same time.
colorful, organic forms, and playful chaos…
experiments with density, texture, and spatial arrangement
Over the past four weeks, I’ve gone through a variety of experiments and directions to explore this idea.

In this current version, I’ve been experimenting with a lot of physics behaviors—like elasticity, tension, and gravity—to simulate the feeling of tangled yarn. Right now, the user can click and drag the yarn strands, and they respond with a soft, springy motion.
