The Sleep Blanket
A visualization of my son's sleep pattern from birth to his first birthday. Crochet border surrounding a double knit body. Each row represents a single day. Each stitch represents 6 minutes of time spent awake or asleep #knitting #crochet #datavisualization pic.twitter.com/xwBh7vIilJ

Webcomic artist Seung Lee of Heart-Comics very cleverly printed out a visualization his son’s first year sleeping patterns and lovingly used it to crochete a blanket. Lee printed out the pattern with the help of Baby Connect and began looping a blue on beige pattern, with the blue waves indicating every 24 hours throughout the entire year, using a homemade HTML/Javascript tool to aid in the process.
The blanket took a bit of time and had to be made in four parts. Once completed, however, the blanket was a hit with the person who matters most.
There's nothing quite like the feeling of someone loving the thing you made for them pic.twitter.com/4U1VBCcKNm
