I was unsure of what to do for this assignment. I still wanted to try something outside my comfort zone, but I also wanted to explore one of my interests.
For some time I have been thinking about documenting my crochet projects so I can have an archive. Crochet documentation is usually characterized by visual support: pictures of the finished design, videos of the stitches and patterns written in an incomprehensible language. When I think of my projects, I think of what I was doing while I was crocheting. I often crochet during my 5 minute breaks while studying or when I listen to a podcast. I wanted to assign a mix of sounds to each project. For this one, I used different sounds I associate with my last project and actual recordings of my environment while I was crocheting. The blue sleeves is a project I started during finals week to help me focus, especially while studying chemistry. I finished the second sleeve yesterday while going back to the dorms, and I finished weaving the ends in my room while listening to a podcast (about Darth Vader). The audio is not supposed to be “musical” or have actual rhythm, it is more a fingerprint of my process than a musical piece on its own.
