Iām traveling but that doesnāt mean Iām not machine knitting!
I am so grateful to Cristina Talpa for her make-a-scarf workshop. Amy found it via the Makery and we thought it seemed too good to pass up.
And it was! While the workshop is geared for total beginners to machine knitting, Cristina smoothly adjusted to work around things I already knew. She taught me some great new techniques and helped me improve some less-than-optimal techniques I came to the workshop with.
Plus, this scarf! I love it! Amy enjoyed posing me on an outing in Berlin today to snap a few photos.
Iām so grateful for the opportunity to meet an expert (and experimental!) machine knitter, work on a garment together, and chat about the state of the craft.

Yesterday, Sacha Judd (@sachajudd.com) reminded us to āteach someone ā¦. something about building for the webā, and to ātake back control of your feeds, your attention, and ā¦ go exploring againā. She encouraged us to ābuild healthy online neighborhoodsā. Thatās a great metaphor and very complementary to rebuilding your own home(page) on the web with perhaps a digital garden as well!
Today, Ana Rodrigues (@anarodrigu.es@ohhelloana.blog) connected the dots from Sachaās reminders to encouraging everyone to join burgeoning healthy online neighborhoods like: * 32-Bit Cafe (@32bit.cafe and see their Discord & Discourse) * IndieWeb Community (@indieweb.org and see @chat.indieweb.org for Discord, IRC, Slack)
Both are filled with online neighbors helping and teaching each other how to make what people want to express on and for their personal sites!
Know of other healthy online neighborhoods? Let me know and Iāll add them to the IndieWeb communities page!

I didnāt want to post this back when the fire was raging (no need to be sensationalist), but back when the Flat Fire first began in central Oregon on August 21, I was boondocking and saw it pretty close up. I had to adjust my plans so I would be a safe distance away across the Deschutes river valley. š²
