   Forget infosec and cyber threat intelligence: This is now a knitting account. I recreated a GIF that I lost when gfycat[.]com shut down. I knitted this sweater in 2022 using Red Heart Super Saver "blacklight" yarn.

     I recreated another GIF of a "corner to corner" (c2c) crochet blanket, that I made in 2020. The symbol on the blanket is a Mahjong game tile known as the green dragon. 發 (pronounced 'fah') is short for 發財, and represents fortune or wealth.

     This is where I got my original inspiration to make time lapse GIFs. I learned that I should take consistent photos (horizontal versus landscape).

     Yarn is Caron 1lb off-white and an unknown forest green acrylic. People keep asking me if I would put a color border around the blanket, and I keep saying no.

     c2c is incredibly simple, and could allow for complex pixel art-style works if you map an image to a grid.

     I recreated another GIF of a "corner to corner" (c2c) crochet blanket, that I made in 2021. The symbol on the blanket is a Mahjong game tile known as "80,000" (ba wàn or 八萬) from the characters suit. I made a significant mistake at one point that required frogging (but I weaved in the ends too well, requiring scissors ✂). I continued to learn how often I should take photos for a time lapse GIF.

     Yarn is a combination of Caron 1lb off-white acrylic, and other acrylics. People keep asking me if I would put a color border around the blanket, and I keep saying no. c2c is incredibly simple, and could allow for complex pixel art-style works if you map an image to a grid.

     Most of my other "wearable" arts and crafts are in this toot thread. I forgot to post the knitted cabled sweater under the parent toots.
