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!

There used to be a quilting community and it seems to have disappeared? I’d love to share some quilting things once in a while, I’m a bit intimidated to become an owner of a new community though… anyone else have interest?

Edit: actually looks like you have a link that works! Ignore me!

Oh you had me worried for a second that they'd shut down, eep!
