Made a quick sketch on the train, available here: http://sandbox.lia-sae.net/p5js/Cracks/
I spent the whole day exploring La Croix-Rousse in Lyon and learning loads about the canuts and silk weaving. I threw together some notes from memory so I'll have the material to write one or several solid articles about all this! Enjoy loose Frenglish notes.
Mapping from a grayscale gradient to colors. Mostly framework for future experiments, nothing too exciting to see right now, I just re-figured out an old BF4 trick. http://sandbox.lia-sae.net/p5js/GradientMapping/
Made a bit of yarn. No picture 'cause the spindle is already in the suitcase
Still growing, reached half width. Knitted two sections, had to undo 1.5 to find a missing k2tog, re-knitted 3 sections. Meh!
Very good tapestry weaving progress. Finished the slit for the ribbon, the metallics section, and made tremendous progress on the last section. Experiments: curves, and HV-teknik for the colors in the white-blended area
Not happy with the previous one, so working on a new one. It needs more work but it's getting there!
More progress. There's still a bit to fix and I'm having trouble isolating the colors, but I should see what threads I have on hand before doing too much anyway.
Added ~36 rows to mitten 2/2 of the final set of mittens I'm making from the Pluviôse pattern. Would have finished it but was sick most of the day
