TIL there's a skill overlap between crochet and chess

[-] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I don't know about chess notations, but you got me interested in them.

TIL crocheting instructions look a hell lot like assembly language

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 41 points 2 days ago

It's assembly with native thread support.

Weaving is actually where a lot of the logic for the first computing machines, in particular punched cards come from. On looms back then you would use punched cards to program the loom to weave complicated patterns.

This thread has been a source of fun and knowledge so far!

[-] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Well, it's a kind of assembly language - just not to operate registers of a CPU, but to assemble some crochet piece ;)

[-] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Wait, it’s a lizard and not a turtle???

The pattern says lizard.
The result says turtoise.
