beware, metapost is addictive once you get better in it,
It is. :-) This one is to both you and Peter, because your snippets together helped me adjust from WYSIWYG vector graphics to MetaPost - not that I'm that far yet, but I understand a lot more than I did. http://www.lucet.fi/textiles/ The fingerloop braiding patterns are still under construction, but I think I now know a lot better what I need to do there. And my fingerloop braiding suite idea was well received, so it looks like ConTeXt will be present at Braids 2012 in August (http://www.braidsociety.com/confer.htm); not as a talk, but as finished materials, in poster form and, obviously, on my computer.
(btw, a talk about this will fit nicely in the upcoming eurotex theme)
I think I already happened to promise that to Taco... I guess the title of my talk is now "TeXtile craft" or "TeXtiles" or something like that. You still time to make a wish or two. :-) Definitely hooked on MetaPost, Mari
