In a similar vein, the organization VizKnits has begun putting out patterns such as the "CO2 Emissions Pullover" and the "Wild Tiger Population Loop Scarf."On their site vizknits.com, they explain where the data comes from and how it was converted into this pattern, along with how to download the pattern to make the project for yourself. Their knits are functional, pretty, and they certainly pack a punch when it comes time to explain what they represent. Their projects allow you to learn and educate with style, and make abstract climate data into something personal and tactile to connect with, which may be why these projects gain such traction in the first place.
Another excellent option if you are interested in creating your own climate related knit and aren't sure where to start is the Tempestry Project. Found at tempestryproject.com, the kits will provide everything you need to get started, from rolls of colorful yarn representing temperature ranges to NOAA climate data.
