🧶🧶🧶 Check it out, Knitterati - another fab shawl design by Maistro Stephen West, the Ravelry: Achievement Badge Shawl. This I s a YAL, and it seems to have just begun. Lots of videos support for this one.

🧶🧶🧶 Getting ready to do the Romi Hill MKAL - Funston, a shawl, starting May 23rd. Each swatch is actually two colors held together to get a heavy fingering-sport weight. The stash delivers!

Highly recommend Romi's MKALs. Great support via forums and videos. And, the designs always have clever new techniques and tips. Anyone interested in joining me? Here's the link:

Obviously this is too labor intensive to do for all my goods but it adds an element of interest to things like the gladstone handbag in the upper right of the first photograph. Plus I love wet molding so it's kind of fun and easy enough to stitch together while I am watching a documentary. #design #leather #maker 2/2

I had a blast seeing all the crazy, cool, and inventive projects at the Atlas Expo yesterday. I’m always inspired by what students can do! 🤩🤩🤩 #maker #engineering

For a home made stair case? Not bad.
I need more tools.

🧶🐔🧶🐔🧶 Another Emotional Support Chicken!

Using scrap yarn, this is 1st one I've made of wool (v. acrylic). I must say it's a much more pleasant knitting experience - 2 strands fingering held together on US2 needles, so very tight, but wool gives some spring.

Still, my upper arms and shoulders hurt! It's OK, I'm knitting off anxiety, and it's a workout my muscles need.

Is there any effort to create a micro transaction system for the fediverse? TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram pay content creators for content. Is there any hope to bring people over from those platforms in a way they can monetize? I love the ad free state of Mastodon, I don’t want to see that change. I also like supporting the arts and the people that make them. If there existed some micro transaction system built into the fediverse, that could be the thing that directly attacks the only advantage social media companies actually have. Wouldn’t you love to see a world without Facebook? #microtransactions #federated #indie #creators #maker

I love me some BlueQ zip bags! Mine hold stitch markers and such.

Made of recycled feed sacks, melted down and rolled into fabric, then printed, cut and sewn.

Sturdy as hell, well priced, the zipper bags come in various sizes. They also make funny socks and dish towels. Available from #Amazon and the #BlueQ website.

My son, the CS major, helps me program my #linux based #raspberrypi pool controller. We use #nodered because it gives a really nice little dashboard and controls all the GPIOs well.

I was looking into the code and spotted this lovely little bit of type coercion. 😃 I can completely relate to what kind of mood he was in when he probably found some stupid bug because it was dealing with the letter "0" instead of the number 0.

Mal eine etwas andere Frage an die #Maker Community hier. Ich möchte einen Hebel bauen der sich ähnlich bewegt wie ein Schubhebel (also rotierend um einen fixen Punkt) - wie macht man für sowas einen haptischen Widerstand der nicht so schnell abnutzt, keinen Rückschlag hat und idealerweise in begrenztem Maße einstellbar ist? Wenn ich nach "Drehwiderstand" suche bekomme ich nur Potis zurück 😅

This little display stand is an experimental prototype inspired by having made some tiny rechargeable lights. Lit from below, the 1-inch acrylic cube transmits the light to provide under-lighting for whatever sits on top of it. This could likely be done better with a custom circuit board with surface mount LEDs, but this was a fun way to make a quick one-off prototype without fabricating boards.

Tried to solder the #ESP32 to the #mmWave sensor yesterday.
Well… turns out I have zero soldering talent. ☹️

🧶🧶🧶 Nash the nurse in a silly pose, modeling a current #WIP - the Harris Hood. Folded-on-itself ribbing is next, possibly a drawstring too.

It is so rewarding to be able to make these things for people who are helping me so much to recover from this epic-length illness. <gratitude>

This pattern is impeccably written, I'll look for more from this designer.
