At first I didn’t think I had a lot of failure this week since it wasn’t in a three-dimensional space. However after thinking about it this week came with a lot of failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to do a test block of a different flower pattern that I found online in the size of yarn I initially planned on using. I spent a couple hours making this sample, stopping because I realized I had an extra stitch. I went to change it in the pattern I was using which was simple enough, when I noticed that the shape of my stitches wasn’t actually square so it was elongating the image. So I did some math and measuring and put in the sizes of the actual stitches to get what my crochet was actually going to look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was unfortunate because it meant that with such specific measurement to look good I would have to create all the flowers myself in the rectangular pixel art. So I calculated out how big I wanted the panel to end up and created a pixel grid of that size to create the images I was going to crochet. This was also important because obviously I can’t crochet anything without a design in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus begins the iterations and failure; which I only started noticing and recording as failure a little bit into the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things did get a little better when I recalled the word for Silhouette. Since then I could look at the shape I actually was trying to draw, without trying to convert it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were a lot of iterations to get to things that I actually liked. Here is all the iterations of Roses that I did, which I’m not sure I will use any of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are Versions 1-5; though there were plenty in the middle of all of them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After hours of simply designing flowers with the correct dimensions, I came up with only three designs that I liked. I ran each of them by my mom who is knowledgeable about flowers to see if she could guess what they were. These still might change, but I am comfortable with them at this moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this week there was a lot of error that had to happen to continue. Though I definetly expect there to be plenty more when I start to physically build the project as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if there is any idea for fall flowers or foliage please let me know. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
