Yarncrafting | Books | Red Pandas
I published a free pattern for Mango the Knitted Sloth over at Instructables! Take a look here. https://www.instructables.com/member/Well%20Read%20Panda/instructables/
It feels really good to publish my first Instructable! I’m always intimidated by designing stuff and writing out the designs, so this is kind of a big break-through for me 😀
If you knit a Mango of your own, let me know!

Custom Yarn Sculpture
The popularity of knitting and crochet, or yarncraft, is on the ascent. As more people discover its pleasures, enthusiasts and neuroscientists are also realizing that crafting with yarn elicits soothing and therapeutic effects. The meditative aspects of knitting and crochet are already familiar to the legions of yarncrafters, but recognition of the neuroscience of yarncraft is a relatively recent phenomenon. This work embodies the relationship between yarncraft and its neurological benefits with a physical art project. This project takes the form of a large crocheted e-textile brain sculpture with embedded LEDs whose illumination is controlled live by a brain-computer interface worn by a yarncrafting practitioner. This sculpture visualizes the changes in the neurology of the yarncrafter.
I made some mermaid tail blankets for friends a couple years ago. Some are sleeping-bag-style, and some are open in the back. All are modeled by my helpful stuffed animal friends, starring Hokuto!
