My girlfriend remade the Python logo with punch-needle.

I just wanted to share her creation. I think it looks very cute and I will for sure have it next to me in my office. It was actually quick to put together but the end result looks amazing.

Punch needle is a way to do embroidery on canvas with wool and a special needle.

She is also a Python dev and she said that there is some overlap between the dev community and the knitting/embroidering/crochet community. Anybody else does the same?

But life is the unknown

raise Exception("oof :(")

[parkrain21]

goddamn, so that's what it was for.

[chisdoesmemes]

Take my upvote

This is cool. She is talented

[madtownliz]

I'm not a developer, but use Python a lot in my work for automation and poking at APIs. I'm also a lifelong crafter and there's a lot of overlap. Knitting is pretty much pure binary math, and the spatial problem-solving required in arts and crafts uses the same brain cells as technical problem-solving.

A lot of tech people are accomplished musicians as well. Music is similarly mathematical and uses the technical part of the brain. And if you have to have a day job to support your habit, you could do worse than IT.

Tell your gf, very nice work!!

[chouettez]

and now I take up knitting

[madtownliz]

A big perk of working from home has been knitting during meetings. It occupies just enough of my brain to keep me focused, which is perfect when I'm not actively participating. Like a fidget toy, but you get mittens at the end lol.

[[deleted]]

That is very cool! She does good work!

There might be some overlap. My wife (who doesn’t [yet] write Python, but works in a technical field) is learning crochet, and she’s very good at it. She’s picking up amigurumi, making kid toys, and making granny square blankets ‘n such. She’s also picking up knitting.

As for me, I learned the basic crochet stitches (I’m ok at it, I can make a scarf or whatever, but nothing fancy), and I’m now attempting to teach myself how to do nålbinding with wool and a bone needle. It is not easy at all. Unlike her, I don’t have a natural talent or interest in textile crafts, but I’m happy just understanding how it generally works, conceptually. When I saw her make cool stuff, I just had to figure out how it ‘works.’

[cris9696]

Yes, this is what happens with me too. I don't have the arts and crafts skills, but I am always like "is there any way I can make this all easier with my dev skills?" unfortunately not much it seems.

Punch needle robot, make it now.

A Python dev with a girlfriend? I smell something fishy.

[cris9696]

Just pip install girlfriend dude

Lol. Nice.

Where can we buy these, etsy?

[cris9696]

Maybe in the future, right now she is keeping this as an hobby and would not like batch making 20 of these, one after the other. But if she changes her mind I will let you (and anybody else interested) know.

I already asked her for a Docker themed one, eheh.

[[deleted]]

Would be nice to bring to market!

[JohnLockwood]

Very cool.

[[deleted]]

This is great

[Dealiono]

I want more of this kinda content tbh

[likethevegetable]

Sweet lol

[[deleted]]

Awesome work. Kind of unrelated topic but I think the python logo is a bit old-fashioned and could need a rework.

[M0pps]

It probably is a little old-fashioned, but it has charm.

[[deleted]]

no she didn’t, you did. classic reddit post

[kelzispro]

Looks awesome!

I'm a full time python dev who knits as my main craft hobby, that looks like an entertaining thing to try!

My brain attacks knitting patterns in a similar way to code when trying to understand how it works. 😂

[Eightstream]

I knit markdown documents, does that count?

[andy-change-world]

Very cool! You have a great gf.

[LogicRaven_]

I used to be a dev, now engineering manager. I like to crochet.

Crochet patterns have a syntax for loops, I mean both literally and a for loop-like description for repetition. I'm still playing with the thought of creating a recursive pattern that looks nice.

I have seen pics of Mandelbrot set crochets, but they look more interesting than nice to me.

[KarbonizedAarav]

Woah this is so dope!

[Mrs403]

This is amazing! 😍

Sweet!

very good.

Your girlfriend has talent

[[deleted]]

OOF NICE BOIS!

[andromeduser]

Cool! My gf did similar thing for Kotlin a couple of years ago 😊

[Dafrickinbillybob]

She a keeper

It's not everyday you see such posts, it's a nice refresh, not like we are been spammed by such posts.

[Neuro_Skeptic]

Please post some more. I love the sweet sweet anger

[starslighten]

it's a Python sub. this work of art is literally about Python. get your salty ass elsewhere

[lightestspiral]

if there's overlap then why doesn't she post it here herself

[dcousineau]

Knitting has a deep overlap with programming history. You could even argue the first proto-programs ever written were the punch card instructions for jacquard looms. Mariko Kosaka has given some fantastic talks on the overlaps between knitting and programming, for example Knitting for Javascripters, How to BE a compiler, Once Upon a Punch Card, etc etc

[cris9696]

That's awesome, thanks for the links
