The next Fedi #CraftClub meeting will be Sunday, Nov 2, at 10a pacific/1p eastern!
https://everytimezone.com/s/6e025252
We're usually there for 2 hours.

Craft Club is meant to be a chill space - I ask that you not bring up politics. I want people to be able to talk about their personal lives and experiences, but this is a time to not dwell upon the horrors.

sign up at https://luma.com/pd5x1k21 to receive an email with the zoom link (should arrive about an hour before)

I suspect that this may be of interest to a certain cross section of the denizens of the Fediverse: “Knit Hello” is a typeface for hand knitting. It’s both a typeface and way to make knitting patterns.

Typeknitting - https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/87626

Okay, this is very cool. Knit Hello (https://www.knithello.com/) is a typeface where you type in words and the representation it spits out is a #knitting pattern for the words. I love how simple it is, and how it uses slipstitches for the horizontal strokes. Genius! There are already a couple (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knit-hello-united-fanscarf) patterns (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knit-hello-variations-scarf) using it on Ravelry. The creator is Rüdiger Schlömer, aka Typeknitting (https://typeknitting.net/), who has also written a book on typography and knitting. I’ve just downloaded the sample font and tried it out. Oooooh, this is going to be very useful! (Link via Colossal (https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/10/knit-hello-typeknitting-rudiger-schlomer-digital-font-knitting-pattern/).)

When I was cleaning yesterday I realized one of my oldest knitting projects ever is still with me - keeping Paddington’s neck warm. #knitting #fiberarts #memories

If you’ve been following this account’s pics the last few days, I do have a lot of stuffies. There are many, many more than have been pictured.

Center, Paddington Bear standing up in rubber rain boots and a blue felt coat. There is a note that reads “Please look after this bear. Thank you” hanging off his left shoulder (viewer’s right). He has a floppy red hat on his head. Around his neck is a woolen scarf in seed stitch in colors of blue and tan. 

Viewer’s left, small artwork of a turtle with large eyes and a stretched blue smile.

Fellow crafters: If you ever wonder if you weave in ends well enough to prevent future unraveling, I recommend trying to undo it.

I decided to go a different route with a bit of knitting after I'd finished it off.

If the task requires cursing, you have done very well.

I, for example, am an unmitigated master at weaving in ends. I'm particularly adept at "splitting" the yarn I'm weaving into, hence knotting the yarn quite satisfactorily.
Yep - cursing was involved. 😉🤪😇

Australian software engineer Sarah Spencer hacked a 1980's knitting machine to create "Stargazing: a knitted tapestry" to show the universe in a unique way. 🇦🇺

Sarah explains, “By using a floppy drive emulator written in Python and a web interface, I can send an image to the Raspberry Pi over the network, preview it in a knitting grid, and tell it to send the knitting pattern to the knitting machine via the floppy drive port ...
