So, I joined QOTO because I like sciency things and couldn't find any other appealing group. But I think I may be in the wrong group. I think this group is for actual, you know, scientists.

@Hortense I’m not sciency myself. I think it’s good to have you here! The more backgrounds the better.

I have seen some art and philosophy posters on qoto so it can be anything you want.

@derickflorian Thanks! I'm not an artist, either, just a hobbyist who loves fiber-related skills. I learned to knit then went down the rabbit hole into spinning and weaving and prepping raw fleece for spinning. So, ancient skills, not modern skills. Still, it's all very interesting. I imagine some of the archaeologists in this group could weigh in on the history of thread, which is absolutely fascinating.

@Hortense idk if it's related at all, but I think I saw a couple of local toots about people making quilts with mathematical patterns. You might be able to look into that community.

@admm Thanks! I'm not much into quilts, but there's a lot of math in knitting. At least in knitting design there is a lot of math. I'm not necessarily looking for another group, I just wanted to be sure it's OK for me to be in this one.

@Hortense Sure, I don't see why not. I'm sure anyone can join as long as they follow the server rules. I mainly just joined so I'd see sciency stuff on my local timeline.
