Our next #HitchinHackspace weekly open evening is on Monday 26th January.

We will be open from 19:30 until 22:00 to give folks who may be interested in what we do, and what facilities we can provide, a chance to come and have a look round and meet some of our members.
All are welcome. If you have ever wondered what we did to convert a derelict toilet into a hackspace, or what a "hackspace" is for that matter, come and have a look around.
If you like to create, make or craft things why not pay us a visit?
We have tools and equipment that cover a wide range of hobbies, crafts and technologies: woodwork, metalwork, electronics, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, sewing, 3D printing.....
Free tea, coffee and a biscuit or two.🫖☕🍪🙂

However, I do think there is a way forward:

1. Knit or crochet a basket or bag from 100% non-superwash wool.
2. Chuck this in the washing machine, on hot, with some sheets, jeans, and a few rubber balls.
3. Leave the fulling to process, rather than checking it every five minutes. After all, nobody knows how big it was *meant* to be, right?
4. Get a needle-felting kit and use that to *decorate* the fully fulled item.

This should get me a pretty felted thing without driving me bonkers with impatience. Right?

#craft #geeks I need advice/info/specs

I want to make stencils. However, my current use case is on a shot glass. A previous use case was on an object the size of a quarter.

I think I want a #cricut but I'm not sure how small of detail I can get.

For the glasses, I think I need letter heights ~= .25 inches (keeping in mind that the details of those letters are much smaller)

For the quarters, I wanted arbitrary icons/shapes so the size may be less of an issue

Is this doable? How fiddly is it? Assume I am a person who likes solving problems but has a 3 week deadline. Oh also, what model?

Also also, how locked into the software/system would I be? Like, am I forced to use a subpar app? Can I only use their fonts for a
example? Is #inkscape or similar workable?

Finally! A new #bookmaking project! We discovered traveller’s notebooks this year. Love the concept but wanted to have one that was #vegan AND not made of plastic. I also wanted to make my own inserts. These are prototypes to see if the concept could work. I am so proud of these! I learned a great deal and am planning on making a larger one for A5 notebooks.

I've been trying to move all my #notes from #Evernote to #Craft for ages. Now I've found a detour via #Obsidian, but it doesn't work 100% either. However, it displays cleanly in Obsidian and I'm wondering if I might be moving from Craft to Obsidian? 🤔

Ich versuche schon ewig meine ganzen #Notizen von #Evernote zu #Craft umzuziehen. Nun habe ich einen Umweg über #Obsidian gefunden, der aber auch nicht 100% funktioniert. Allerdings wird es in Obsidian sauber angezeigt und ich frage mich, ob ich vielleicht von Craft nach Obsidian umziehe? 🤔

Super simple beginner friendly stash busting sewing project for you this week.

No fastenings, just straight line stitching. You could even do this by hand if you wanted to.

How ya doing and what's your craft / art / Hobby related coping mechanism for 2026* ?

[* For Fucks Sake - it's not even the end of January !]
