Weaving is actually where a lot of the logic for the first computing machines, in particular punched cards come from. On looms back then you would use punched cards to program the loom to weave complicated patterns.
haha too true.
now i feel all the more compelled to prove us all wrong, and actuallymake this rather than adding it to my random collection of (cool) patterns, never to be seen again....
It's supposed to hold moisture without wicking it down to the wooden surface underneath.
The goal is to keep water off the furniture that may be damaged by it, so it soaks up that water and holds it against the wood underneath thats not really ideal
What is beneath it you ask? Why a house on the ground (that's two more coasters), which is standing on four elephants - another, very very huge coaster. All this so we don't have to worry about spilling our drinks over the giant turtle that carries it all.
I think I know how the effect is achieved. A small bent piece of metal or even plastic lifts the shell up when the drink is removed, and the head when the drink is placed.

TIL crocheting has sourcecode.
nickiwest@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 80d
Fiber arts were the original sourcecode.
Weaving machines used punch cards before computers did.
And crochet is one of the better ways we have to model hyperbolic planes.
Don't sleep on fiber arts. It's not all plain scarves and log-cabin quilts.

Well, it's a kind of assembly language - just not to operate registers of a CPU, but to assemble some crochet piece ;)

Wait, it’s a lizard and not a turtle???
zergtoshi@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 81d
The pattern says lizard.
The result says turtoise.
Or turtle.
Whatever it is, it is cute af!

MANY THANKS

I don't know if I'd use it as a drink coaster, as it would hold moisture, but as a pot dolly it would make cooking and serving hilarious.
UnrepentantAlgebra@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 81d
It's a drink coaster, it's supposed to hold moisture
Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip · 55 pts · 81d
It's supposed to hold moisture without wicking it down to the wooden surface underneath.
The goal is to keep water off the furniture that may be damaged by it, so it soaks up that water and holds it against the wood underneath thats not really ideal
0ops@piefed.zip · 10 pts · 81d
Could probably solve that by glueing something impermeable underneath, no?

A coaster?
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 45 pts · 81d
What is your table but a coaster on legs?
It's coasters all the way down.
Cethin@lemmy.zip · 14 pts · 81d
And what is a table but a big turtle made of wood?
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 10 pts · 81d
What are turtles except motile coasters?
Klear@piefed.world · 8 pts · 81d
That's why we're just coasting along.

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 80d
Even the great turtle evolved to grow a coaster on its back
TheOakTree@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 81d
I think gluing something to the bottom will stop the mouth opening mechanism, unfortunately.
Might need to pin something to a loop at the bottom instead.
Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip · 3 pts · 81d
Certainly! :)
bort@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 81d
it's supposed to protect the surface of the table not only from moisture, but also scratches and stuff.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 80d
There could be a water proof layer inside it.
frankenswine@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 81d
+1 for that pattern

Oh shit! A Google+ user! What a throwback
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 81d
I forgot all about google plus. I used to not be able to comment on youtube, because I refused to get a google+.
BCsven@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 81d
Gplus was so good initially, then they started messing with it and it became a shitty facebook

Whether it's ingenius design or a happy accident, this might be one of humanity's greatest achievements!
chaogomu@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 81d
I think I know how the effect is achieved. A small bent piece of metal or even plastic lifts the shell up when the drink is removed, and the head when the drink is placed.
Adding that part makes the rest much easier.
nickiwest@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 81d
Plastic is not necessary because the nature of the crochet fabric is enough to achieve the effect. Fiber arts are cool that way.
Mushroommunk found a video that shows how it's constructed.
MML@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 81d
Is it the same yarn they use in needle felting or no?
Creativity@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 81d
Felting usually requires animal wool to get the felt effect. The video used cotton.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 80d
I think the top layer is just sized so it pulls back on the mouth when weighed down.
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 81d
I don’t think I would use it as a coaster, as your glass would easily fall off.
Still pretty cool though.
