Gardening fiber arts

I’m almost done with knitting, crochet, and the freshly minted naalbinding, but some images like post #3068815 elude me. Would it be reasonable to create a tag like ambiguous needle craft for cases like this where there simply isn’t enough detail to guess at what is going on?

Also, should a general knit tag be created for finished knit objects? It’s reasonable in theory, but most artworks are not detailed enough to distinguish one from another. Assuming knit until proven otherwise only goes so far as post #334523, which is an example for cable knit has sharp bends in the cables, and wider cables made up of two narrow ones side by side like crochet, but fits like a knitted garment. It might be a moot point anyways, as I am not motivated enough to go through all of the sweaters and scarves on a case by case basis.

Another issue, this time to do with spinning wheel. I have no idea what to do with habetrot (fate). I’m inclined to say that anything that has no space for a spool, spindle, or other device to spin the fibers onto cannot be a spinning wheel, but those more interested in the aesthetic than accuracy might argue otherwise.

BUR #28410 has been rejected.

deprecate stitching

It appears to be just a mix of sewing and stitches, both of which are better served by those tags. The wiki seems to suggest using it for sewing with a needle, but that would be better served by creating a completely new tag for it.

• I see a needle and thread in post #3068815 which would make it sewing.
• A knit tag would be too general to be useful.
• An unrealistic magical spinning wheel like post #4874997 should probably still be tagged a spinning wheel.
• Stitching has a clearly defined use case. Sewing is for fabrics, and stitches are an object, not an action.

Thanks. I’ll fix the tags to reflect that. The wiki does say “in sewing or in closing a wound”, but there aren’t that many posts so it wouldnt be too disruptive of a change.

I’m currently trying to figure out what would make good clean distinctions between rope, yarn, string, and thread. It doesn’t help that a scrap of twisted fibers could be any of those depending on context. I am thinking of calling anything used for lacemaking, stitching, or sewing thread, anything used for making rabrics yarn, and failing those anything on a spool thread and anything in a ball or skein yarn. Anything that doesn’t look fiber art related can then go kntl string and hopefully no rope edge cases appear.

This tag needs a deprecation wiki.
