@chainedchaos31 Yes. I’m right there with you.
@parisba @TimesNTroubles @vmbrasseur There are various scientific papers about attempts to do this with computer vision – I’ve had a few goes myself – but we’re not there yet. The fuzziness and floppiness of yarn + the need for a REALLY good photo makes it super difficult.
@parisba @TimesNTroubles @vmbrasseur So the real way you do is to send the photo to a good knitter, or post it on Ravelry. The Queen Susan shawl is a great example of a collaborative reverse-engineered knitting project: https://t.co/oD7MO2aaxS
@parisba @TimesNTroubles @vmbrasseur There are very few patterns that a good knitter cannot easily work out. Sometimes you can identify stitch patterns by the texture, but if the photo is good enough (or you have direct access) you can actually read the stitches like cursive writing.
@parisba @TimesNTroubles @vmbrasseur Here’s a recording of a tech talk where I cite a bunch of the scientific research and show my own bumbling attempts with machine learning… https://t.co/a3MC6hh2RJ
@TimesNTroubles @parisba @vmbrasseur If you can borrow the cushion, take it to your local knitting shop (not Lincraft or Spotlight) or contact the Knitters Guild in your state. They sometimes get requests like this and might be able to find someone willing to undertake as a paid piece of work.
@HyperGamer2 @parisba @TimesNTroubles @vmbrasseur Indeed. Bring on the knitting replicators!
@foobartel I use Tweetbot on my phone, but the old version. I’d like some of the new features, but I’m annoyed that it’s a subscription service now.
@justanotherkc @foobartel Yeah. I have no problem paying for software, but it annoys me that everything is subscription these days.
LOL Munich. At least Sydney is only “overvalued.” Quoth the Snook: “We should buy a house in Chicago.” https://t.co/eD0Mt0HZhg https://t.co/26X0jUAHQa
@justanotherkc @foobartel I totally get it when there are ongoing updates and feature improvements, and people should pay for that. But can I buy it and only get updates for a set period of time? If I pay for a year and then stop, do I still retain the functionality I have then?
@bazscott Heh. That’s a new one for me – usually it’s people mixing up crochet and knitting, which is sort of understandable. 🙂
That’s my little brother setting a record in his first year of uni! 🏆🏊🏻 GO JOEY GO! https://t.co/8bu8yumrc3
@vmbrasseur Haha, sorry about that! 😂
