A short article by Ralph Griswold on using j-k-meandering strings, sequences containing every substring of length k over j characters, as a source of design sequences. It gives a table of minimal meander lengths, a step-by-step method for constructing them with a worked 3-2 example, and suggests interpreting the characters as profile-draft blocks, stripe colors, or thread widths. The last page shows profile drafts for mirrored 3-2 and 3-3 meanders and striped color sequences from 3-3, 3-4 and 4-3 meanders.
