Weaving animation inaccuracy that BUGS me

[Shadygrove]

Background: IRL I sew and have engaged in, or at least tried out, many of the fiber / fabric arts. Including spinning.

Ashford Traditional Spinning Wheel

A. Fly Wheel
B. Drive Band
C. Flyer
D. Flyer Whorl
E. Maidens
F. Mother-Of-All
G. Tension Knob
H. Bobbin
I. Treadle
J. Footman
K. Orifice

The animation shows us fingering the drive belt. The wheel is hand cranked and stops every revolution.

IRL the left hand is 3" - 5" away from the orifice feeding fibers in. The wheel is run on a foot treadle and never stops.

I don't know how to link a video here so here is a link to a video:

The sewing animation is actually an embroidering animation but for me that's minor compared to the spinning wheel bit.

There's like 3 words said in a row there that aren't real words. Niddy Noddy? For real?

And all the other crafting animations are that much more life-like? lol

Foot-treadle spinning wheels are only one kind. Almost all modern western spinning wheels are of this type, but hand-cranked wheels *do* exist, such as the Indian charkha, or the older "great wheel". When spinning with these types, it is not uncommon to have to use the left hand to control the tension on the fibers being spun. If I remember correctly, the crafting animation can show you turning the wheel multiple times depending on what action you're taking. I've been looking at pictures of charkhas, and while a lot of them have "wheels" that are spokes with no rim (with the fiber strung from spoke to spoke), some look a great deal like FFXIV spinning wheels, complete with a crank on the wheel.

As a chef in a former life, I have yet to figure something out. How do I fit an entire kitchen in my back pocket? I mean that stove, its always hot and ready to go, is it insta-heat or is it always lit?

Actually, I think heating the stove is what the shards are for.

If I could flatten steel with 10-20 strikes...

With an ice crystal.... what?

Unless you don't have a knife equipped. Then you make cream by frying the milk in a pan.
