Simulated Knitting in Python
- lancefisher 15y agoThese are the kinds of things that arise from mixing another interest or skill with programming. A knitter wouldn't think of doing this, and neither would a programmer, but a knitter-programmer comes up with this great idea.
- dchudz 15y agoThanks!
- colanderman 15y agoI'd considered doing this with crochet for a while. I like the 3D mesh approach. Glad to see it works!
- dchudz 15y agoThanks!
- freiheit 15y agoThe actual pseudo-sphere he makes a model off is crocheted. I think the approach he uses would work okay with crochet, but you'd have to add in something that knows a bit about the height of a stitch (and stick with the same height stitch), and also do something where the slight tilt of crochet stitches isn't significant for your purposes.
- colanderman 15y agoSince all crochet stitches are just combinations of hook-through, yarn over, and draw, my idea was to make a simulator in terms of those. At one point I put together this cheat sheet breaking down the stitches: http://fstutoring.com/~chris/stuff/crochet http://fstutoring.com/~chris/stuff/crochet
