Based on conversations I've had the embargos didn't affect buying this item. I could still be wrong though.

Thank you. Yes and no. If you're a really tight knotter then yes it helps open it up a ton. But if you're loose then it doesn't help as much other than the usual stabilization.

I'll link the pattern once I relocate it. My wife wanted one after I made a few this past year with a single color. I think it came out pretty good this time. Practice makes perfection.

Nope. Humanity will always be an enigma.

I was just thinking that you could loosely look at each day being the four seasons. Morning is spring, afternoon is summer, evening is fall, and night is winter.

EDIT: Seems a lot of people are having difficulty understanding a loose comparison.

I'm so confused. Lol. What did I do? I'm browsing lemmy.ca crochet using a web browser if that's what you're asking.

[-] ConfusedOrder@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

What about it? We are on Lemmy right now.

I recently created a simple pattern generator from black and white images (aka 2 colors) using powershell. Anyone interested in it here is the script. You sadly have to enable scripts or copy paste the whole thing into a powershell ISE window. Make sure to update the file names. I haven't cleaned it up yet as I just barely got the logic side of it functioning. I did borrow stuff from a lot of sources and I will come back and edit this post to give credit where I can. It inverts the image so the pattern starts at the bottom of an image and then inverts every other line for when you rotate your workpiece.

I'm thinking of making something similar in something like Python to make it less OS specific. I'm debating also increasing it to making grid patterns instead of just text for those who like graphic images more. Here is an example of the text output for something I'm making as a gag gift for my sibling.

EDIT: File has been updated to prompt for file location and will save the pattern file in the same directory as the script using the input file's name. Please note that you will want to make sure your input file is black and white and small dimensions or it'll take forever. It will do the job regardless of the file size it just takes a very long time. Plus I don't know anyone that wants to filet a blanket using an image that is 1920x1080..... :P

Last Edit for this version: It will prompt to save. If you double click on a file to copy it's filename and hit save it'll say you're overwriting but you're actually not. It'll save with a .txt extension thus preserving the original. This is a default warning from microsoft so if there is a way to change it I'm not bothered to find out. It'll accept you keeping the extension in the name field or removing it as I've checked for both contingencies. Overall this is pretty much a complete package. I hope this helps someone.

Reddit was my go to for finding patterns. They always linked to ravelry, YouTube, Etsy, or some other random site that creators made for hosting their own patterns. Ribblr is a new one for me.

Made the second pattern by 1UpCrochet this weekend. For some reason starting a magic circle with 3 sc is really difficult. Really struggled with getting the tension the same on both horn tips.

Link to pattern.

I think games should be intuitive. So I avoid walkthroughs as much as possible. If I have to consult them too much I don't bother playing the game.

[-] ConfusedOrder@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Thank you. They definitely do. Quality patterns.

[-] ConfusedOrder@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

I struggle with the game so much. I don't know how anyone doesn't rage quit. Lol

[-] ConfusedOrder@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Well it wasn't super floppy. They just wouldn't keep their curve. Imagine doubling the gap between the tips of the horns.

Thanks! I had to stitch in a string from the inside of the horns that meets in the middle of the head to make enough tension to hold the horns in the right position. They kept flopping outward to the sides for some reason.

My first post using Lemmy since Reddit. I hope I am posting this right. Made this Hollow Knight for a friend.
