There are 5 rows of knitting needed for each letter of the alphabet, so spelling out bird names wasn’t really an option unless I wanted to produce a scarf worthy of Tom Baker’s Dr Who. I needed a simple code list. After a fair bit of digging I discovered The British List, which had an option of 2 or 5 letter codes for birds recorded in Britain. I used Rowan Hemp Tweed in Duck Egg for 0s and Paprika for 1s. It came together in a way that worked, but someone else repeating the exercise starting with the Baudot-Murray codes, the Bird List, and the data from my bird count, would have ended up with a very different outcome. ./cache/www-lindahumphries-me-7927.html ./txt/www-lindahumphries-me-7927.txt
