@dartily this really pops. It makes me want to swatch yarn textures and that is usually a chore to me. Thanks for posting your art.

My radiotherapy starts this week so thought I'd knit a couple of scarves as a distraction...lol.
Also bought some delicious hand-dyed sock wool by 'Yarns with Alix" in Tassie that I can't wait to start knitting with. Hopefully knitting will keep my mind occupied during my treatment.

I love Knitting Fool, a #knitting database of stitch patterns w/images and charts. I buy knitting patterns a lot based on a finished work image & I’m not always familiar with the stitches.
Elaine Lyons is inspiring! If you love it too, consider dropping her a tip.

This is my messy little happy nest, with two sleeping cats BritBox knitting and now, a light up Magnifier.

@52square Had to order that immediately, looks perfect, and found a cute new online sewing store owned by 2 best friends in the process : ) Thankyou

@52square I love the projects you’ve shared here! Beautiful works.
great idea to bundle reading glasses with magnifying lamp. I’ve got to have one – took me 5 tries over 2 weeks to pull out a few rows of gray sleeve knitting because I couldn’t see the stitches clearly.

Waiting for someone to make an artisanal search engine that only indexes manually verified websites written by humans. Farm-to-table organic search results, handmade with 100% certified human creativity, like your grandparents told you about.

@52square Thanks for sharing. I have been looking at options for lighted magnifying glass. I’m curious about the magnification – most are 2x – and That seems lower than idea. It’s hard to find them other than online to test

@kristinHenry The most lovely and peaceful snowflake schema I’ve ever seen. I love those chubby orbs.

Mastodon is really having a moment in mainstream news coverage. CNN, BBC, TIME, etc.

The influx of users will continue at an alarming rate. Remember to be welcoming, and kind, and positive, and helpful.

This isn't just an opportunity to improve the idea of social media, it's an opportunity to shine a wonderful light on #opensource.
