Weaving is actually where a lot of the logic for the first computing machines, in particular punched cards come from. On looms back then you would use punched cards to program the loom to weave complicated patterns.
haha too true.
now i feel all the more compelled to prove us all wrong, and actuallymake this rather than adding it to my random collection of (cool) patterns, never to be seen again…

TIL crocheting has sourcecode.
Fiber arts were the original sourcecode.
Weaving machines used punch cards before computers did.
And crochet is one of the better ways we have to model hyperbolic planes.
Don’t sleep on fiber arts. It’s not all plain scarves and log-cabin quilts.
Written in Assembly from the looks of things.
Juggling also have one.
It very much looks so.
TIL there’s a skill overlap between crochet and chess
I don’t know about chess notations, but you got me interested in them.
TIL crocheting instructions look a hell lot like assembly language
It’s assembly with native thread support.
slow clap
groan
Have a lemmy gold:🥇

This thread has been a source of fun and knowledge so far!
Well, it’s a kind of assembly language - just not to operate registers of a CPU, but to assemble some crochet piece ;)
amazeballs!!! Thank you kind stranger.
You’re wecome!
This way the guide can get lost on youtube and on lemmy! 🤪
haha too true. now i feel all the more compelled to prove us all wrong, and actuallymake this rather than adding it to my random collection of (cool) patterns, never to be seen again…
Wait, it’s a lizard and not a turtle???
The pattern says lizard.
The result says turtoise.
Or turtle.
Whatever it is, it is cute af!
the hero we needed!
Thank you!
@zergtoshi @mushroommunk
This is soooo cute! Thank y’all for showing it and linking the pattern!
I’ll just post this direct to my cnc mill…
It’s crochet turing complete?
You two are heroes
