I’m going to Shetland next year on a knitting tour and will be staying an extra week afterward. Anything I should be sure to see and do? In addition to knitting, I love scenery, museums and birdwatching.

Blauwe Branding is live! This design is perfect to use up smaller amounts of yarn in different colors. Or use a gradient yarn with long color runs instead! 😃

Happy Pride. It’s been so nice that the most recent signups or a free listing at YD have been LGBTQIA+ shops. Want to support queer designers, dyers, tech editors and accessory shops? Use the LGBTQIA+ Owned dropdown in any category on Yarn Database. 🧶🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Here’s my periodic plea for alt text so that everyone can enjoy your photos. You can even set up BlueSky to prompt you if you forget. 🙂

I finally finished my @oldgodspod.bsky.social pony bead blanket, based on Old Gods of Appalachia’s Valentine’s logo variation. It’s gloriously heavy and contains 22,680 pony beads. I can barely crochet, but I wanted this pretty bad. 🙂🧶

Look at these adorable 3-D printed hoops that become part of your final embroidery project. Oh my goodness, so cute.
Hello! I'm Jan! I'm a Canadian crafter that is obsessed with making 3D printed embroidery hoops in wild shapes, with doors, caps and more. I have full embroidery kits for some of the hoops with custom printed fabric. I also make many, MANY needle minders. The cuteness is never ending.

Knitters and crocheters, with Joann disappearing, where do you buy affordable yarn? I’m pretty much down to ordering online. I’ve had good luck with Knit Picks, Jimmy Beans, and Webs, and I’ve heard great things about Hobbii from my knitting circle.

@exlibrisfibers.com thanks for adding a listing on YarnDatabase.com! I won’t generally push the site here, but since I recently mentioned tech editors, I wanted to say dyers, knitting and crochet designers & accessory sellers can also get a free listing. (One rule: Links to Ravelry must be marked.)

A few baby hats to spread a little joy. A friend posed a question today, “how different do you think you would be if you were super rich?” My goodness my first thought was how many more people I would be able to help. I don’t understand people with billions of dollars needing more and more $$$

The National Park Service has rewritten the web page for the Stonewall Inn to remove trans people. Brave trans women were at the heart of the Stonewall Riot. Only Fascists rewrite history. NPS takes comments at [email protected]. #LGBTQIA

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don't like the whole "you should care about disability justice bc one day you'll be disabled too" approach. You shouldn't have to be impacted personally to give a fuck about other ppl & I sure as hell won't beg. Either fight for & alongside us or get out of the way.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

OMG what a darling cat. Is anyone in Seattle missing this cutie?
Eastside Seattle-area friends, anybody know someone who's recently lost a sweet little muffin like this?
No microchip or collar, but she's well-fed and v soft, so we don't think she's been missing/out v long
