I started to knit as a gentle way to wind down in the evenings but it took on a life of its own.
Also words, ideas, writing, reading, walking and fountain pens.
Particularly fond of the suffixes -smith and -wright.

I made a summary of the blogposts I wrote about clocks.
i recently learned* this nice multi-signature booklet/zine binding technique that doesn’t require adhesive *or* sewing! you cut slits in the middle of each signature, make an accordion whose mountain folds fit through the slits, then secure each mountain by sliding a strip of paper through it on the inside of the signature

https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/cartier
> A major exhibition that charts the evolution of Cartier's legacy of art, design and craftsmanship since the turn of the 20th century
This remains one of the greatest things on the internet, arguably in the history of human endeavour

(I do enjoy Richard Glover's writing.)
"Be kind and keep going: A dog’s guide to growing older for those facing the complexities of ageing"
> Sometimes, the humans in my circle go all weird when confessing to a quick snooze in the afternoon. Why the embarrassment?
One of the comments I particularly like:
"Thanks Clancy…..just quietly, I always reckon it’s a very fine idea to always have one bite left in you.
Keeps everyone on their toes."
Hui, Strickanleitung mit Name genannt in der Süddeutschen - ich bin überrascht. Und zwar ziemlich.

I've seen a lot of "why not just join forces with Pixelfed" directed at Flashes
Pixelfed and Flashes are two very different projects.
Pixelfed is it's own platform with features like Stories, Collections and Portfolios.
Flashes is a UI around Bluesky/ATproto that filters out non-photo posts.
As our two platforms mature, the differences will become more prevalent.
That being said, you may soon see more of Pixelfed on Bluesky.
Stay tuned ✨
