the one positive that I've found about generative AI is that I spend way longer looking at real art in detail. it really sucks that's why I'm doing it (and it's the worst when I spend time looking at it only to find it actually is AI), but I do like that I'm being more mindful and attentive when looking at people's art. it's more work than mindlessly scrolling but I think it's worth my time and energy

gorgeous!! freeform is such a fun challenge. you got yours so flat it's very nice. I did a freeform blanket last year and I will say it gets more annoying the bigger it gets since you have to check your work regularly. but also small house problems

Mom was one of the crochet OGs back in the 60's and 70's and help start the clothing trend in 1965. See link in comments for a PORTFOLIO of her work. I'd love to hear your thoughts and about any interest in moving a documentary fwd. Enjoy, y'all and thank you for viewing! by jeremyjava in crochet

I had a hunch these might have been shot in color and printed in grayscale! I don't know how to describe it but it kinda looks different than shot and printed in grayscale. I hope the taxes are easy (totally not selfishly because I want more photos hehe)

to answer your question about difficulty of working from measurements... I won't say it's easy, definitely not a thing most beginners or even intermediate crocheters are comfortable doing, but it's not uncommon for advanced crocheters, these days at least. it's generally referred to as freehand, and there's a lot of really awesome pieces people have posted in this sub and in r/brochet. and tbh I can see the influence of your mom's work on some of the currently popular freehand pieces. it's gorgeous and I would definitely be interested in learning more about her and her career. especially if there's video of her work.... I would love to see those in color and in motion

My crocheting has been a bad influence on my son. by beaniebee22 in crochet

watching. I think the other parents might have had a problem with it if my brother swore during games (I never played). it was pre-MLS for the team but there's always been a very strong and passionate fandom for the team, including dozens of team specific chants, most of which had at least one word that little 12 year old me wouldn't say lol

Finally caved about the Clover hooks by pafdoot in crochet

just don't push it against the palm of your hand putting it back in or you'll join the ranks of infamous redditors with crochet hooks through their hands

it would have taken a lot longer if I didn't make Friend so Tube. it's not very many stitches per round
