I know some of those words.
😂 you don't understand the words that are coming outta my mouth?
But not all?
It's kind of like people talking about cricket 🏏 Those are all words, but the order isn't right 😅 I'm obviously no textile expert 🤷♂️
Lol. It is like a foreign language. There's barking (brk) and burping (brp) involved. (brioche knit and brioche purl)
That looks like assembly programming 👀
I mean it is assembly of a sort...
Could have fooled me 😂
Lol, it's knitterese
No shit, right? I'm just gonna go do something easier than knitting, like 3D print a dragon using line by line manual G-code.
Ha 😂
I'd bet the comparison is more accurate than you think. Textile machines were among the first functional computers.
I never really thought about that.
Apparently knitting languages differ by country, my mum is always "translating" patterns 😂
There can be a lot of different words in it if you're not just making a basic square or rectangle, lol. Crochet is worse because a single crochet stitch is a double crochet stitch depending on if you're using American terms or English terms 😂.
True, that's where punch cards came from.
Yeah, I'd need a dictionary with pictures 😅🤣
Hey, that's another product idea 🤔 instead of just selling the things you make, you can sell a deciphering book for those who want to try themselves 😃
Verypink knits and Nimble Needles already did that 😂. They both have really good video tutorials on basically everything knitting. I really do want to get on hivetalk and do a knitting sesh though.
My mum does crochet 😂 it's called knitting here regardless of method (kinit, crochet even weaving use the same word) so my poor Japanese mum is like "I can't knit in English"
🙂↕️🙂↕️
Lol occasionally I'll correct people, friends mostly, with an uh ackshually it's whichever one. But mostly I just let it go.
Honestly, looking at the finished product I can't really see the difference 🤷♀️
I'm a foreigner to the yarn 😌
