Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...
...and also being able to read things like THIS:
#art
#crochet
#fiber art
#described images
#image description in alt
#used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE
#see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet
#i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece
#with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same.
#i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean
#plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece
#one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it
#*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost*
#if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡
#i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting'
#did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO
#i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3
#i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to..
#...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3
