Thats Ingenious.

…that’s ingenious.

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.

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.

: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).

Booklet of embroidery and drawnwork (early 17th century). Probably Portugese. Linen, silk, leather, paper.

Another Platonic solid. So much time and effort for something fairly unimpressive. Disheartening. This one at least has neater seams, but nylon thread would probably be neater still.
