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!

First of all, no worries. But secondly and way more importantly, all knitting is worth posting!

Doesn't matter if you're new and make mistakes, doesn't matter if you knit the same baby cardigan over and over in different colours, doesn't matter if all your projects are simple household dishcloths, especially doesn't matter if your scarf is twice as wide at one end than the other.

You're making stuff with your own bare hands! Be proud!

(now if you'll excuse me I need to figure out why my phone keeps changing "doesn't" to "Diane")
