Wikipedia:WikiProject Textile Arts/Proposals

This page is for discussion of proposals for WikiProject Textile Arts.

There is an article for gauge (knitting) but I know at least that crochet also has gauge requirements with it as well. Do other texile arts have gauge associated with them? If so, could we make just one page about all of them? --Alizera

Knots as a related project
I've added WP:TA as a related project at WikiProject Knots and wanted to propose that it be added to your related projects section. Knotting forms the basis for several textiles including Macramé and Tatting, and at least a few simple knots must be learned for joining lengths of yarn and tying off finished ends in knitting, sewing, etc. Thanks. --Dfred 14:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Great idea, thanks. - PKM 17:14, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I like the idea of having a knotting section as knots are part of crochet (my special love), knitting, tatting, and embroidery.

An article on gauge is absolutely essential to both knit and crochet and will be especially helpful to beginners who will use Wikipedia as a trusted resource. jdwln Jan 9, 2008

If gauge is referring to the amount of stitches, or units per inch, weaving has its own terminology for that, particularly when it comes to how we define the different sizes and styles of yarn. There can also be differences in terminology between countries, which are generally largely ignored and can result in a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding. Knotting is also a technique used on a weaving loom, usually but not confined to carpet and rug weaving, with several of the knots being familiar to embroiderers under a different name. barca1au 30 April 2010

Adding an existing page to this project
I'm pretty new at editing, and I don't know how to propose "adopting" an article into a project. In fact, I'm not even sure of the culture and ettiquate involved. Is it considered rude to do so? The article I am interested in is Extra-Long_Staple_Cotton_Act_of_1983. Can someone advise, both on the questions I have and on the proposal itself. Thanks.

 * Hi, Michaeloqu! I did it. Apologies for the very slow reply; the main project talk page is busier. HLHJ (talk) 23:54, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
