Make Your Own Hyperbolic Surface! 

Yea, when he cut the tail I was thinking _no_ ! I like to hold it with the hook hand to control the position of the work when it's not large enough to grasp normally yet. Keeping it flat and under a little tension helps hook properly and with uniform size. I also winced at how much slack he has inside his stitches.

it hurt to see him do that LOL

I am actually thinking of learning to crochet because of this video, I will keep this tip in mind if I do decide to.

@@Asterism_Desmos keep the starting tail long because you can sew it into your work and it'll have less chance of unraveling your project 👍

i had a physical reaction to the cutting as if the yarn was one of my limbs

Me neither, but it's incredible!

I was gonna leave basically the exact same comment

It kinda reminds me of that time Derek Banas (Known for making tutorials on programming languages) suddenly did a "Learn Crochet" video. There were so many people in the comments who clicked on the video expecting a tutorial on a non-existent programming language called "crochet".

Why is this an excellent comment? [✅️ Inspired me to watch] [✅️ Funny] [✅️ Relatable] [✅️ Informative] [✅️ Shows appreciation to video creator] [✅️ Interesting] [✅️ Other]

So sorry for your loss. I’m pretty active in crochet and knitting discussion spaces online, and I’ve seen so many stories from people who have taken up fiber arts to connect with their loved ones like this. Some learn the hobby to finish or repair a project that was left behind; others take it up to feel closer to their person or have a physical object to commemorate them. It is a slow, repetitive, almost meditative kind of craft, so it is a pretty good way to occupy your hands and mind through a difficult time. When you feel ready, I strongly recommend that you give it a try. Best wishes!

my mom died when i was 10 and one of the only things i knew about her and kept is this really janky 9ft baby blanket she crocheted for me. i started crocheting because of that and it's one of the only hobbies i have had since. aka i have so much fucking yarn lmao

Thanks for sharing such a bittersweet but wholesome story. I'm sure she was missed by many.

Don't delay, time is short. Hurry.

chad mom, she will never be forgotten

Ssssssssssssameeeeee

Exactly!

Fellow crocheter here do you know of a pattern for it?

BTW how?

Wait pattern please?

Can somebody @ me if a pattern is found?

​@@annasolovyeva1013i mean a mobius strip is easy enough to crochet, you could just crochet two of those and then crochet them together

I was thinking the same thing 😂

I'm curious, why is cutting the tail off bad?

Some prefer to keep the tail to help them hold onto their work until it's bigger and easier to grasp and to keep their work from easily unraveling. I find it also tends to give a much cleaner finish when you keep the tail and weave it into nearby stitches.

What math

@@bettercalldelta if you leave it really short, when you sew it back into your work it can come undone after enough time and then either you have to sew it in again or your work starts unraveling. You also need it long enough so that you can easily put the end through the needle and then be able to pull the needle back far enough to be able to actually put it back through the work roughly where the end originally comes out. Try sewing with thread that’s shorter than your needle and you’ll know what I mean.

@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 just the little bits of math that I think about when I’m working. If you want to keep the work straight, you have to make sure you use the same number of stitches per row, and some funky stitches you might want to do could take up slightly more or less space and you have to account for that. Also the size of your hook and the thickness of your yam could mean that the patterns that you’re following could end up bigger or smaller if you’re not using the intended size. If you want to correct for that, you have to make a swatch and count the rows and columns and then change the pattern slightly by adding or removing stitches so you do get the right size. There’s also the fact that single crochets and double crochets or half treble crochets or any other stitch has a different height and you can use them all in the one row but you’d need to make sure that the next row accounts for that so it ends up straight or ends up with the shape you want. One more example is figuring out how many stitches you’d need for each row if you’re making your own amigurumi so that the different shapes come out how you want. Honestly most of these don’t really ever come up when you’re following a pattern but I like to experiment and those are the things I think about - just about how what stitches I choose to put where and how that affects the work as a whole.

thats awesome! thanks for the suggestion!

Not that different tbh, they’re both absolute geometry

How you going? Addicted to crotchet or ptsd? There is no in between 😂

@@KerriEverlastingwdym addicted to ptsd?

They really are! There's even a notation for loops. Not really any standard for branching though; for variations the *if* statements are just ad-hoc and not so compact.

As a crocheter and programmer I never stopped to think about the relation between both, my eyes were opened now in ways unimaginable

no way it's the desmos keyboard guy

Wait so you used the binary representation of pi to decide wether to single or increase? That's fun. Though now i wonder how it'd look with a balanced ternary representation, where -1 is a decrease, 0 a regular and +1 an increase.

@@joda7697 no i think its base 10. just look single single double (3) double (1) single single single double (4) double (1)

one must learn to walk before they can parkour

well people aren't just born with knowledge, you need to actually start learning yourself, thats the only way you cant just sit there doing nothing then wonder why others are more successful than you

i have the same issue. i'd probably be good at the creative aspect if only i knew the boring basics. it's just very hard to feel motivated to improve when there's a million road blocks and it seems to take hours to solve even one in an unsatisfying way.

@@nonyobisniss7928 road blocks such as?

@@nonyobisniss7928 and how are the basics "boring"? they are usually quite simple and give you a fundamental understanding of how things work, you need to start somewhere lol that's the same as saying that you can't get into art, because learning how to use a paint brush and a pencil is too boring for you

The sphere is the opposite of the hyperbolic plane. It has positive curvature. You probably have done something like this, to make a bouncy edge around a finished work. And of course, you always do increases when doing anything in the round (rather than back-and-forth) and that includes Granny Squares. Sometimes a placemat becomes a little hyperbolic by accident, if the increases aren't exactly right.

Damn crochet sounds fun 🥺 I'd love to try it out but I've already spent too much on embroidery thread lol

Same

Well it's a lucky day for you lot then. Get a lottery ticket or something.
