Something fun that I just ran across .... a “Random Stripe Generator”
http://www.biscuitsandjam.com/stripe_maker.php
Per link:
“I wrote this script to generate random stripe patterns for sweaters, scarves, blankets, etc. It’ll give you an idea of what the finished object will look like, but it still leaves some unpredictability to the stripe pattern. Try it out by entering your colors and desired stripe widths below.”
If you have limited amounts of certain colors, there is also a ‘weighted Random Stripe Generator’ link at the bottom of the post.

The above link was part of a post by Crochet Kim for her ‘Weatherghan’ pattern, which is a temperature blanket:

I was trying to understand what a ‘temperature blanket’ is, and while browsing I hit on this pretty afghan:

I’ve never really mastered knitting, but this looks like a project with no fitting that might be easy to lean on.
I’ve used this technique (Fibonacci Sequence) when crocheting scarves. It’s fun and a great way to use up odds-n-ends.
Fibonacci was an Italian, one who came up with a particular kind of mathematical sequence. A Fibonacci sequence starts with two numbers. The third number is the sum of those two numbers. The fourth number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Repeat forever to build a sequence. The Fibonacci sequence that you’re most likely to come across is this one:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc.
Why am I telling you this? Because playing with Fibonacci sequences – and making Fibonacci stripes – is knitting for your inner math geek.
