:D Nice!

:D nice!

Yes, it was 2 stitches I missed, and: the missed out loop should be on the back of the work, if that makes sense.

Die Nase.

I’ve been writing fragmentary bits of pattern for a crochet face for years now, and finally put hook to yarn and made a prototype nose today.

Here are my “pattern” notes, which also function well to show why I don’t write patterns:

Dec, Dec, inc, inc, Dec Dec Inc inc Plain x 3 Inc inc Plain x3 Sl, ch2, dc2tog, ch2, sl Dc flt Sc3tog

The next challenges are figuring out eyes and lips, and then, of course, integrating them into one pattern. (Eye holes are easy enough, but sculpting the curves of eyelids a little harder).

Hi, if I just started following you and you’re trying to figure out if I’m a bot or not: I’m not. I just use @aristoteliancomplacency for everything other than Artist Stuff™ now and haven’t done any Artist Stuff in a long while. One day.

Data Weave

Kickstarter from @notendo to make high quality woven textile garments with digital abstraction based on digital files:

Data Weave continues work I began in 2001 that reimagines contemporary digital culture through textile arts to create a continuum of traditional and modern art forms and technologies. Applying my process of color encoding binary data to textiles expands fiber art traditions and addresses current preservation challenges faced by digital media.

… Data Weave is a marriage of art forms to the extent that the Jacquard loom’s use of punch cards to weave intricate motifs inspired the use of punch cards for saving and executing programs in early computing. Data Weave extends traditions of embedding symbols in textiles to communicate information by applying my practice of color coding binaries to weaving. This process of encoding data with color produces intricately detailed, cascading motifs that are meant to be woven pixel to stitch. Each pixel represents bits of data showing how weaving can also be understood as pixel art. Furthermore, Data Weave simultaneously illustrates an alternate way of data preservation and a materialization of digital ephemera by tangibly elucidating data structures with color.

The city artist is ready. The invitation to color your feelings about your home town is extended to all the citizens.

And yes that is the layout of the Hamina city centre. The famed circular grid with city hall in the middle.

…that’s ingenious.
