Knitting friends! Since makers tend to make more than one sort of thing, and we crafters need to stick together, here's a list of fellow creative communities for your navigation pleasure.

For each craft I'll include the current most active community first as well as alternatives, and add each with their full URL as well as local links for Lemmy and Kbin users respectively.

I hope it's useful!

I keep hoping to find a handspinning community, but no luck yet 😔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've been searching for one every time I do an update on this post! Not that I spin, but probably will one day we all know how that goes.

Feel free to share your spinning here in the meantime though tbh, they're closely enough related that I doubt anyone will be mad (and of course, you might enable some folks). Could be educational for us!
