Honestly I made one friend through Ravelry years ago, and that seems to be about it around here in terms of crafters who are under retirement age. Such is life in small towns! I think there is a lot more stuff for young kids on a weekend though, basically the demographic here is "parents" and "old people" and if you're neither you're out of luck!

At least there's online though. I'm loving seeing all the new crafty communities popping up on here, just hope they can get enough content to keep going 🤞

You are absolutely right it does seem that more stuff is either parent or retirement age focused!

Have you found many good craft communities on the fediverse? I haven't seen much creative content on kbin so far?

Not sure what you're into but....deep breath...you asked for it.

[email protected] (direct link) is a brand new one for cross stitch & embroidery, needs more people to join!

[email protected] (direct link) is the most active crochet one I've found, some nice convos happening in there already.

[email protected] (direct link) again there's a few but this seems most active.

For sewing there seem to be two trying to get off the ground but neither seem super active. I'll probably just pick one at random and start posting in it if that doesn't change but they're [email protected] (direct link) and [email protected] (direct link)

[email protected] (direct link) isn't something I do personally but I do enjoy perving over their projects anyway.

Erm...if I find any more I'll come back and update this lol. Kind of one a one-woman mission to build a good list, then hopefully convince the various mods to sticky it so people who find one of these places can then find all the others too.

(Also p.s. I don't know how to format these links for Kbin so sorry if they don't work. But hopefully I've made it a bit easier for any other Lemmings who stumble across this comment.)

Amazing thanks for posting those links. I'm trying to get into crochet at the moment and need all the tips I can get
