Something cozy is coming. 🐿️

Yarn Squirrel is a new iOS app for knitters and crocheters
who are tired of having patterns scattered everywhere —
Ravelry, PDFs in email, screenshots, bookmarks...

We're bringing it all into one beautiful library.

More soon. Follow along 🧶

I'm back on Mastadon, and discovered a new hobby - #vibeCoding. I've made a really mean accessible audio editor with some unusual features, an accessible billing program, a TTS program, and a google meet scheduler, that went horribly wrong today. But loving being able to create useful stuff. :-) Also decided to ditch Wordpress, and have been feeling adventurous. Started building a website in Grab. Once I've got more than one page, I'll show it here. :-)

Hi #knittersofmastodon I'm looking for a kind of shawl that stays on my narrow shoulders; someone recommended faroese shawls. Any suggestions for faroese shawl patterns?

If cats make a racket it's called catterwalling, right? Is there such a thing as doggerwalling? Doggerwoofing? Doggeryapping? LOL #randomthoughts

Fasten Off Yarnalong Dec 3, 2024

December 3 is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities
#IDPD. This day promotes an understanding of disability issues, and mobilizes support for the dignity, rights, and well-being of people with disabilities.

We're big into this kind of support - it's one of the principles (perhaps the most crucial principle!) upon which our event was founded.

Today's the day! #Outlander returns! Knitters have a special fondness for Outlander because of all the great #knitting in the costumes. Here's a poem by Doreen DellaPenna Pendleton to the tune of the Skye Boat Song, Outlander them.
It's from Outlander Pattern Central, a private group for crafters, at https://www.facebook.com/groups/OutlanderPatterns/posts/9156408361036516/

Something I’m wondering about: I’d like to start picking up my proverbial pen and start blogging again. Is there any good idea generators like DailyPrompts that used to be on Wordpress and used to send you an email every day with a prompt to use? #Writing #bloggingtips

#BlindAltBot Nov 15, 2024

I'm blind and for me alt text is the Big Special Thing about Mastodon. If someone posts a meme, I'm in on the joke. Someone shares beautifiul moss, or their cat, I'm in on the beauty or fun or whatever. I'm now 62, and this is the first time I entered a community and a culture where people grant me this kind of access and community. So grateful for people who do alt text.
