What are you currently working on? Any Christmas presents for someone else or yourself? Or are you planning your next projects?

Currently I’m working on 4 projects (all for myself):

  1. The “Lattice Love Beanie” by hear hook home with a gorgeous yarn I found at a yarn fair. It’s so soft and I love how it works up. I’m just afraid that I don’t have enough yarn.

  2. The Rancher Shawl by TL Yarncrafts. Also with yarn I you at a fair, and I’m finally making some progress on it. It’s probably going to be the project I’ll take with me to entertain me during Christmas travels.

  3. Moroccan Tea Blanket. I love the shawls, and I now I now started this blanket. It’s probably going to be my 2024 project.

  4. Socks. I am so over knitting this pair of socks. I want to be a sock knitter, but I’m not. Working 9 months now on this pair, and my 2nd sock is about 1/4 done…

    A bit over half a dozen scarves for my nieces and nephews and a few friends. Should be done in a few weeks. Most are almost done and need frills. I got two already done, one for my wife and one for my mother in law. I’ll post my wife’s here pretty soon. I just joined here’s realizing we do have a crochet sublemmy! Or what do we call this now?

            It really is. I crocheted my scarf a decade ago with cheap usual yarn and in relevance to this, it’s rough as hell. This this is so nice to touch. Even the dark purple I intend to make my own with once I finish these Xmas gifts to my son and nieces and nephews. I got one done but it needs frills.

        I’ll do that. I mean, fucking anything other than supporting any sense of anything reddit.

        So just, Lemmy “X” Community? Stills that’s two extra words. We can come up with some single word altering addition that ain’t like reddit somehow.

          Well “Lemmy X community” wouldn’t necessarily make sense since there could be multiple communities for a given topic, I generally just refer to them by their full address if I’m talking to someone actually on the Fediverse (ie “did you see that thread about December projects on !crochet@lemmy.ca?”) and would tend to just refer to it as “crochet Lemmy” to non-users since they haven’t got a clue what I’m on about anyway 😅

          But it’s what they’ve been called since the start afaik, if you look at the top menu of your home instance in the browser you’ll see they’re “communities” there.

            The death of the real social network when the true social network is complicated because its attendance is real and for the members instead of some jackass cash hog.

      So far I think sublemmy is the only thing that’s stuck, haha. Some people don’t like it, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

          Yeah, I’m in the same boat. It’s just hard when everyone’s used the same terminology for so long; it’s hard to come up with a new one that rolls off the tongue, and that everyone agrees to haha.

          Did you post a pic in your comment?? I can’t see it for whatever reason, but I bet the scarf is wonderful :)

          Edit: I see it now in a separate comment! That looks so fun, I love the colors!!
