@farah ... it's already everywhere, not only in #DIY ... The worst are fake DIY books made completely with LLMs and GPTs, including the photos.
More and more important are human recommendations for purely human-made websites, #artists, and #crafters!
And for those using AI, I have a blockfinger. Or a badlist.

Trying again - last time forgot tags (doh!)

#Yarnwitches , #Crafters , and #Knitters , in prep for learning to #knit a #sock , I've been advised to make something simple & tube shaped first

Please point me at some beginner (preferably free) arm / wrist warmers #patterns / video tutorials for circular needles?

I *think* that's a good place to start?

I'm self taught with English knitting terms & sizes references. I can cast on and knit and purl

Thank you in advance

#CircularNeedles #Knitting

Hank Green did this video about knitting that annoyed #crafters because it sounded condescending.
Well, he did a retraction/apology and interviewed the author of a book on #textiles. Interesting.

Truly inspired by “I woke up and chose” a video about craftivism, a term used by #Resisters” and craft, crafters, artists. #Craft #Crafters #Fiberarts @inherentlee was discussing and I didn’t want to butt in so instead I did a search in Ecosia browser to find out about Katherine Vike who was mentionned.

Oh my a woman after my own heart, um, over a teensy part of me that is introverted. Her stories of protest and resistance movements are inspiring. It’s not a wonder that MSM doesn’t mention much those who are adding their efforts one by one to build effective loud voices to protest.

This is a short video I recommend to all who organize protests, doesn’t matter what kind. The concept of adding powerful resistance in quieter ways but building big numbers of volunteers who cannot be ignored.

Urban #Gardeners who have a short planting/growing season, what do you do the other 6 months of the year? Last winter i was bored and restless from not having anything dirt related to do... I have a bunch of houseplants but it's not the same...

Edit to add: what activities other than gardening/plants do you do during the winter season (that give a similar level of enjoyment)?

#Crafters - What are your thoughts on these kinds of really obviously #AI generated printed #fabric?

They really annoy me and anger me.

(pls no hate on Dalston Fabric Mill they're a good store and I actually saw these prints in person at the craft show at the NEC last month too)

@Herbivore Oh my gosh, I’m stunned to learn how this industry operates. Now I think back to the one handknitted Norwegian sweater my grand folks brought me age 12 from their travels there. I loved that sweater so much, with angora yarn knit into the yoke design. Never had something angora again but now what I know about this, I definitely will avoid it.

Today I am finishing setting up this #Proxmox VE and getting ready for it to host https://crafty.social, the community I am building on #Pixelfed for #crafters, #makers, and #artists, who are *done* with the ML slop and the authoritarian control of Meta properties. Crafty.social is currently running on my MacBook via Docker containers with the aid of a #Cloudflare tunnel, and Cloudflare R2 for storage, so the cutover to new hardware should be a breeze.

#Crafters !

I'm in the market for some nice long #crochet or #knitting #HandWarmers / #ArmWarmers - do you make/sell something like this?

Hit me up, I'd love to buy them from someone on the Fediverse rather than etsy/ebaying them.

Colourful patterns preferred. Boosts appreciated. Thank you!!

Hello, makers and crafters and engineers and anyone else who can help.

How to preserve this?

I have... let's say "liberated"... a sign that was on the side of the road in my small town for a few years, and was eventually pulled down or fell down.

Right when the pandemic started (IIRC) this rusted sign got sprayed with the word "HOPE". Nothing else, just that word. It was visible in a little greenspace between the two tiny towns here. It was on a 10-foot (ish) post next to decommissioned train tracks parallel to the road. I tried to photograph it several times but never really captured it. This sign is meaningful to me.

It fell down or was taken down (suspiciously, right when the state police built a station across the road, though it maybe just fell down). That was almost two years ago.

Tonight I brought it home. It is now my baby. I want to preserve and enhance the "HOPE" graffiti, which has faded in the months sitting in the grass.

the sign is an old slab of steel (maybe 3/16" (~4-5mm) thick? IDK, it weighs at least 40 lbs/~18kg). Very rusted, but also solid.

How to preserve this message? I'd prefer to simply highlight what is there, not repaint anything. Any ideas?

Hey y'all, in a break from the doom and gloom that is this freaking timeline, as lots of folks are cancelling #prime and looking for gifts for holiday season, may I direct you towards the Artisans Cooperative? Founded as a response to Etsy becoming a dropship paradise, AC (quote) "is crafting a better online handmade marketplace, run as a values-aligned, member-owned cooperative." (I am not affiliated.)

There's some really groovy stuff!
