  1. Everyone who’s familiar with late 80s and early 90s video games is familiar with dithering (whether they know the term or not), a gorgeous technique by which a 16 or 256 colour display can emulate richer palettes. Maybe the best examples are Mark Ferrari’s jaw-dropping backgrounds in Loom and the Secret of Monkey Island; go watch his excellent talk:

    Since stitches ≅ pixels and yarn comes in limited palettes as well, the same tools can be employed in yarn arts!

  2. tonight i learned about sstv format, got inspired previously to make a pixel art piece of a protogen to fit the format and found and learned to use a tool to encode/decode the proto and various other silly pictures of my choosing (MMSSTV)

    it was extremely neat to learn about :3
