Only a third of the way through, that’s two thirds earlier before I typically ask that question of myself 
This is two skeins of yarn. They’ve introduced all these yarns with great long stretches of color so you get fat stripes instead of weird stripey patterns. I love the colors but I see all the problems… like it’s not square.
The colors are a bit washed out in this picture
Those are the best toes I’ve ever seen! Also, LOVE the colors.
Very cool! Did you deliberately choose the dimensions so it’d come out as diagonal stripes, or was that happenstance?
Oh, and where did you get the yarn? It’s too late for Christmas, but I can be prepared for my mom’s birthday in the spring.
That is because of the stitch I used which is called C2C, or corner to corner. Which is worked in diagonal rows.
The yarn is called Mandala yarn by Lion Brand, which means you can get it in any craft store. I got mine ar Walmart, and 2 skeins made an approximately one yard square afghan
You can also search for color changing yarn. Some change color in a couple of stitches, and some blend
I made a thing:
What does it do? That’s the beauty of it. It doesn’t do anything.
Very nice!
ESP32-based?
Yep! And an MPU6050 accelerometer/gyro. Plus a lipo battery and charger.
Still needs some fine-tuning. Doesn’t start up reliably when I apply power… the ESP32 needs a reset each time. I’m thinking it might not be happy with the ~4v from the battery vs. 5v from USB. Not sure yet.
I still have a few ideas for more modes, but I liked how the water turned out.
Make sure your “strapping” pins are pulled the right way.
I’m using the supermini boards that in principle should handle that stuff… and in practice haven’t failed me on previous projects. But they’re also cheap boards known to have a few issues. So yeah, I’m thinking I might need to see what they did with the strapping pins and if they’re likely to fail at too low a voltage.
The work on my shop is nearing completion, I have a few minor tasks remaining before I am calling the build complete and the future of filling it with tools can begin 
Here is a look at my grinding bench, the hangers for the grinding belts was this past weekend’s project, old table legs cut to length, welded to a mounting bracket and capped with 3D printed knobs.
View of my grunge room. One of the remaining projects is the doors where the tarp is currently hanging.
Bonus, the bandsaw in this pic is a new toy/tool for the shop.
With some sort of touch controls on the surface, you could add a Rubik’s Cube mode.
But yeah, the sloshing water is pretty neat. I imagine you have to be careful when disassembling/reassembling it to get all the panels on the right way.
Sure it does! It looks really cool & made my brain happy.
Touch is probably not possible–each panel is an array of 8x8 LEDs, so no real way to have a sensor. But you can do a lot with an accelerometer and gyro.
The panels themselves are daisy-chained and connect at the corners. So I was able to wire all 6 together such that I start at the bottom (-Z), wind around the sides (+X, +Y, -X, -Y), and then end up at the top (+Z). The bottom and sides are screwed in; the top is held by some magnets (to make it easier to remove for charging).
It was a little tricky to get the orientations right the first time since each panel could be rotated in a weird way, plus from the perspective of the coordinate system, half the panels are mirrored compared to the others. A little trial and error here, but the water mode actually made that relatively easy. Rotate until the water ends up on the bottom, and mirror if it flows the wrong way when you tilt it.
The frame is 3D printed; I designed it in a way that I can print it in one shot:
Glad you like it! It is quite satisfying.
That’s nice. What type of work will you typically be doing? I am not familiar with grinding belts.
Mine isn’t quite that advanced, but WLED has some animated presets that work really well on it.
Mostly for metal shaping, prep, etc. for welding and finish grinding, sharpening, etc. for forging projects.
It’s a tool that can do a million things really well, much better than an angle grinder
Cool. I sorta wish the panels I got had diffusers like that. Makes for a nice effect.
