Stitch of the day

[veronika]

This is a request for a bot that randomly picks a stitch from the list of all possible stitches, creates an image with several thread diagrams along the lines of https://d-bl.github.io/GroundForge/nets, and posts a "stitch of the day" image on Instagram. This would get eyes on at least some of the patterns.

For example, there is a bot that posts a new tiling pattern every day on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TilingBot.

It would be nice if the diagrams were drawn with the appearance of thread.

Below are some references to creating a rope appearance in Inkscape:

Alternatively, we could create a custom filter:

The code for the bot: https://github.com/roice3/TilingBot is written in C#. Smells like something executed on the server side, in that case we need hosting beyond github, which serves only static (client side) pages.
