Baby's First Grasshopper Definition
Overall i had a good time playing around with Grasshopper, even though those tutorials were dry as as anything I try to cook.
When I start out with a new program like this my explorations are usually based around 'how bad can I break it' and 'wow what does this do' which is exactly what i did after i finished the assigned videos which is what happened when I divided points on two circles to see what would happen if I drew curves, this is what happened:
Any of the issues I ran into using Grasshopper were based around myself being new to the program which will improve overtime. I am excited to see what kind of models I can generate in the future when I become better versed. Most of the questions i had about the program were answered by hovering over the functions of the bubbles, fortunately there are several functions within the program that allow for some hand-holding.
I am interested in creating more complex designs as I learn the program more and then specifically printing onto fabric using some TPU that I have sitting around, as an experiment in exporting curves into a slicer, flat designs and seeing if the TPU will dye alongside fabric. It will be an effective combination as the designs will stay highly flexible, with room for heat forming.

After that i moved onto the interpolate tool and experimented binding the values to three different circles which had been divided and then applied to pulled points, i then connected those points to the interpolate tool:
This function then generated some interesting looking curves, which i then baked and copy pasted a bunch of times into this:
