As a crocheter, I recommend not cutting the tail because it could ruin the shape of your work if it gets pulled or something. Instead, you should leave enough tail to hide it between the stitches in the back of your work This is more important if you gonna use a regular yarn like cotton or wool

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.

My mom was a businesswoman. She used crochet, knitting and sewing to make and sell toys. She had a brand, a shipping guy, an economist, but she was doing all of the toys for sell herself. Sometimes she would give crochet lessons to all our distant family relatives’ sons and daughters. They were always very excited. Two years ago her oncology got worst and she retired. I always believed she will come back. Everyone loved her. She died this year, in January. In a national saint holiday. Maybe I will continue crochet too. Some day. When it won’t be obstructed by my tears. Thank you.

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!

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.

@@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.

In crochet, getting something like a hyperbolic surface is actually a happy little accident you'll make as a beginner. Some artists use these hyperboles to make appliques, or cool little decorative pieces. Some hyperbolic surfaces can be seen as a part of art pieces. Also those pentagons while increasing stitches can be imagined as little v stitches over a single stitch in the previous row, to visualise better in practical implementation. To keep track of counting, use little safety pins and pin them on the first stitches in the start of a row. ⚠️ Crocheting can be extremely addictive and you may end up hoarding yarn and making the first ever cardigan before you know it 😂 Stay safe!

For another place in science where crochet turns up, check out the paper by Maria Feofilova: "Geometrical frustration of phase-separated domains in Coscinodiscus diatom frustules" (Tl;Dr: some organisms make weird shells, that can be explained by the math of crocheting)

thats awesome! thanks for the suggestion!

The thing about crochet that you won't have a machine is the open-ended creativity possible. You can insert the hook *anywhere* in the work, not just in the top loop of the next stitch in a row. You can go between stitches or in large holes created for that purpose; you can pick up just the back loop of the stitch. And that's still just going in rows. But you don't have to do that-- you can go sideways along the edge, or anything at all. When doing lace, you go off into the air sometimes connecting back to parts you already did, and finally bringing the whole thing back down to the main work.

Was not expecting a crochet lesson from code parade

Dude as an engineer who loves 3D modeling robots in Solidworks and making then turning around to make adorable plushies with crochet… YES!!!!

I never thought I would use crochet for math. Math isn't my best subject but one of my favorites is geometry. I'm doing a project where I study a mathmetician and create a scene with others. I suddenly dove in to hyperbolic geometry yesterday watching videos (including yours!) to understand how it works. My math teacher told me about hyperbolic crochet and now I'm here! I was thinking about explaining how it works using crochet models like this one. So thanks!

This was such a cool video! I've been crocheting for a decade now, and I never realize how closely tied to mathematics it was. The visualization of meshes was super interesting- thank you for the video!

This video got me into crocheting. Never thought I’d crochet more than some hyperbolic planes and now I have a poncho and several other smaller projects going on.

Well that was different & a 1st YT vid that both me & my girl could appreciate.

I’ve been crocheting for years and was searching for new scrap yarn project ideas and stumbled across this video. I’m minoring in computer science and enjoy mathematics and this makes my nerdy crafty brain so happy. I think about how math is interconnected with crochet often, but I agree it’s not talked about as much as I think it should be, it’s just so cool! It took me years to really understand crochet and understanding the math of it helps and I think it could help other crocheters! I’m always learning more. Thanks for this video! Gonna go make a bunch of these now! :)

As somone who was taught to crochet growing up and still does from time to time, I love this little cross over episode. I’ve been seeing a few of your dev logs and was mainly just here for the space distortion since I’m not a programmer. But now I get to see hyperbolic space in a more familiar setting and I think that’s really cool Edit for additional thought: usually increases and decrease are made to make different shapes like circles, but in my experience those shapes are meant to be flat like if you’re making a coaster. Or you make hexagon shaped tiles to join into a blanket same way you would with granny squares. Also, most 3-D aspects of crochet is texture on a flat surface like a front post double crochet stitches that connect to make a line of Vs across the rows of a scarf. The purposeful increasing to break the flat plane and just keeping doing it in a pattern is really cool.

That was the coolest crochet tutorial I’ve ever seen. I guess this is the logical result of watching only computer stuff and crochet videos

I was gonna say this is the ultimate crossover episode but then i realized this is the ultimate yarnover episode

I love it when KZreadrs I watch a lot combine my favorite things😊

Thank you for touching on the uniqueness of crochet and how if cannot be replicated with a machine! As it’s become more and more fashionable lately, I’ve seen pieces at big box stores for chump change and it breaks my heart

I literally *just* learned how to crochet over last winter break (from my mom) and I have been enjoying it immensely. I had the same realization, not long after I learned, that crochet allows me to make meshes / surfaces, especially those that are hard to make any other way (like hyperbolic surfaces!). That quip about the beginning few crochets being the hardest part is 100% true - there's very little to hold on for generating tension in the right way and once you have something substantial to hold on to, it becomes more about doing quadrillions of crochets until you're done.

I'm a nerdy artist looking for inspiration. My 15 yo son went away to a summer college STEM class and is learning discrete math, etc... I miss him. 😢 I think making this might be something to help me and have a fun fidget gift for him when he comes home. ❤ Thank u!

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.
