I had a dream last night where I was crocheting a computer or some manner of computational substrate, where it was something like a silicon wafer where the physical pattern of the thing creates logic gates and so on, but it was like yarn scale, and much more ad hoc. Would make for a fun game. Could have all these challenges like "make a sweater that is also a calculator".

Pretty please let me steal this for my fictional universe, because this is totally a craft that they'd be very, very into. I give it fifty years from "imma going to invent yarn that can do this just to see if I can" to "millions of obsessed hobbyists".
