Wish I could take credit. I’ve seen it around and it just fits perfectly when it comes to all those tech bro’s and the way they are acting in relation to politics and power. It’s now just part of my vocabulary.

I love Pixelfed specifically because of the artsy, visual inspiration. I dearly miss browsing through my instragram feed and getting incredibly inspired by seeing people create amazing and beautiful things, including using techniques and crafts I had never even heard of before.

Pixelfed is starting to kind of be that for me, but Reddit did some of that too. Some of the most niche crafts even had their own subreddits. I just want to be able to be inspired by my social media feed again - ideally without algorithms aiming to get me stuck there. And without the broligarchy threatening to take it away at any moment.

Well caught! Are symbols in crochet universal? Or do they often differ per pattern?

Sure, but I still suspect that we’ll get a large influx of crafters and other artists that will be visible in Lemmy directly. Still very much excited

This is absolutely perfect! The crowd I am following on Pixelfed is pretty much exactly what I am still partially missing on Lemmy. So excited about this. Thanks for sharing!

Ooooh, now that’s a great idea. This works especially well because I spin my own wool yarn on a drop spindle. That means I often make rather small amounts of yarn at a time. Those should be just about enough for 1-2 of those squares. If I vary the thickness of the yarn for the different squares seaming is going to be a bit awkward, but I’ll get over it. Thanks!

Actually I spin yarn myself. Really need to get one of those little cards to measure width with though so I get the yarn right for whatever pattern I’m attempting. Thanks for reminding me that that is important. For me it won’t be more or less expensive necessarily. Just takes time to make, but so does any other yarn.

Fair enough. I mean this type of feedback is indeed exactly what I was asking for. I regularly try to give beginners reality checks in other crafts that I do have experience in and I figured I probably needed one of those ;) thanks for taking the time.

A mod actually responded to my Lemmy comment. So apparently the subreddit isn’t affiliated with this community here on Lemmy. But they do have something they are working on and are sharing this link https://witchesvspatriarchy.com/waitlist/

Do with that what you will. I am personally joining ALL of the options where the Reddit WvP might be moving and seeing which one feels the closest to home in the end. But my comment is remaining up on the subreddit so at least a few people will see it and can choose to check it out.

Makes a lot of sense. As the other commenter suggested I think I’ll work myself through the different stitches this project is tagged with one at a time. Might even find some with a lower difficulty on ravelry that I can get excited about while I’m on my way to learning enough to tackle this. Thanks!

Oooh, thank you. It’s also my first time on ravelry and I hadn’t noticed that it’s tagged with the stitch types. Makes a lot of sense to work through those first one after the other. Picking a challenging project I can get really excited about as my first project is usually something I have a surprising amount of success with with crafting, but I suspect this one is just too far out of reach for now. I’ll find some lower hanging fruit to get excited about to get me closer to knowing all the stitches required. Thanks again.

Looks like I finally got a Lemmy comment through to automod. The mods might still remove it though. We’ll see.

 

I am a complete beginner and I can tell that this is anything but a beginner pattern. Obviously this shouldn’t be the first project I attempt. However, could some of you maybe give me an idea of how ridiculous it would be to try this as one of my first 5 or so projects for example? How much experience would I need to work myself up to this? It looks so complicated.

 

Hi there, new user here. 2 of my favorite hobby subreddits don’t have communities on here yet. I am itching to make a full switch but would really miss those. How do I go about creating them so people have a place to move to?

 

Very silly question I assume. There’s literally a thumbnail URL field in my thunder IOS app when I create a post. So far I’ve tried uploading an image in my main post which creates a web address and then placing that address of the image into the thumbnail URL. That does nothing though. Can’t find a manual online or anyone asking this question.

I might be the only person struggling with this, but please tell me how I can add thumbnails. Thanks.

I love the idea of sharing some of our favorite withy stuff here. Here is an amazing book I recently started reading based off of a recommendation by another witch. This in particular is a book that is amazing for how to use magic while you are at your lowest / not at your best physically or mentally. Felt appropriate given… things.

 

Considering the recent changes it would be so lovely if a coven ended up forming here too. The subreddit is one of my favorite places on the internet, but I doubt it will survive the recent sitewide changes for long with the timing of the new rule and how left-leaning the sub is.
