@MakersHour #MakersHour A5: I knit literally anywhere and everywhere.
@MakersHour #MakersHour A4: my craft supplies are not readily forageable, but I do get a little excited whenever I hear a friend is destashing.
Q5: Finally, is your making time and space blocked off and limited to a defined ‘work space’, or does it spill out onto shelves and cupboards, and end up with the cats on your lap in the evening?
#MakersHour
Q4: While out walking, I found some branches that was then used for a friend’s stair spindles.
Have you foraged any wonderful things for your home or creative work?
#MakersHour
@MakersHour #MakersHour A3: I just don't have the energy these days. I did help kids with their homework at the library for a few months before lockdown, and I'd want to do more of that someday, at a grade level where LLMs aren't an option (or at a time when LLMs don't exist anymore)
Q3: I peaked into a Repair Cafe, and ended up volunteering.
Do you, would you, volunteer? Any tips for a nervous volunteer?
#MakersHour
@MakersHour #MakersHour A2: The best way for me to keep focus is to do work I enjoy.
For work I don't enjoy...I usually have a stream on, and/or knitting handy to reward myself for making progress.
@lisettedeboer come hang out at #MakersHour!
Q2: My headphones died, and it severely affected my focus and anxiety. On a scale of 1 to ‘Ooh, sparkly thing!’, how focused are you? How do you maintain your focus?

@MakersHour #MakersHour A1: hi! I'm Alex, and I've been low on energy and mildly frustrated with my day job.
I've started a test knit for @LaVisch 's new shawl, which means I'm rearranging my knitting project priorities AGAIN...but the gifts will still get done!
Q1: Hello, I'm @Indigoatcrafts.
How have you been this week, and what’s new on your creative front?
#MakersHour
Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic. For example if a post is about coffee it might have the tag #Coffee
However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverse
Copy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.
If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies 🙂
