> Over 2 billion calculations are needed to produce each pattern; not much of a load for today’s computers, but definitely an impossible task for the human brain. So, this is a new and unique type of knitting that could not have been implemented a few decades ago, without computers.

It's hard to take this assertion at face value. Compare that to what a human go player can do vs. a computer. (2 billion computations would be on the order of seconds on a normal computer)

Still a cool project!
