Building Houses

Yarn and dye

 

Crochet was told to be a craft that yet to be replaced by artificial intelligence and machinary. I associate this delicate craft with houses, a space that holds tremendous values to people. Written crochet pattern to me is a language like computer code, I imagine speaking the yarn language that represent humanity by making a plain hood first, I then dyed it with house patterns on the knotted yarn. Next I frogged it which the line of  the yarn became something like computer code. Finally I crocheted it back using the same crochet pattern and see how things are changing over time and action.
