There's a talk this morning about crocheting a map of Central Park and it has me rolling. It's about how hard it is to rasterize vector data, how we pressure ourselves to produce and how much joy there still can be in this work.

It’s a unique skill. My Mum would be able to do something similar in her head. Days before computers she was extremely gifted knitting custom jumpers- people would give her a photo or design drawing and she could sit there and knit out a jumper with that design.

One of many things I love about NACIS? A python Blender workflow using extensions made with Claude gets roughly the same amount of 'Oooh Aaaah Nice's as a project done in pen and ink. The medium is less important than the dedication and the heart and cartographers notice that shit. We love it all.
