CALLING ALL CROCHET GEEKS AND GRANNIES
Do you want to crochet something that ends up in a mathematical art exhibit in Paris* next summer? Join the project at www.grannylifecrochet.com
* We will find out in September if the project makes it into the Paris exhibit
@iris I think there is already alt text, is it not visible to you?
also, great that you have someone to share it with! thank you!
Interesting project and I love the general look of the squares.
But to be honest: the yarn requirements were a hard no. I understand you want a cohesive look so settling for a certain yarn and even having one color appear in each square: totally understandable. Choosing something really expensive: I'm not so sure that is a good idea.
I was already filling out the form, but I quit when I realized you expect me to pay about 30€ to participate.
@FanCityKnits Totally get it! In the future I think I'll have a more accessible project, but for this one it has to be super high quality yarn.
You can also use the free pattern to make your own high-complexity motifs, and the free app to generate such motifs. If you or anyone else tries out the pattern in other yarn and gets the details right then maybe I could mail you a little kit with enough yarn to make a square for the project ❤️ 🧶
Thank you.
I have an idea what to do with the squares and if I use any of them I'll make sure to give you a big shout out because I totally love what you do there. I really like the combination of math / science and fiberarts
@FanCityKnits @mathgrrl am I correct that the form is the first place where you can find the yarn requirements? I didn’t see them on the site. Thinking about it it makes total sense to prescribe a specific yarn for a coherent project, but it was a bit of a cold shower.
Will make a square in stash yarn anyway, as a physicist/data engineer and fiber artist it is irresistible!
@mathgrrl I don't understand the lack of a link in your post. Google wasn't esp helpful and threw up a lot of trash before I found the site.
