Some more niche than others but basically...making stuff. Cross stitch, yarn crafts, sewing, needle felting, dicemaking, 3d printing, very occasional cosplay, I'm about to try my first macrame kit and a friend is planning for us to learn punch needle together.

There's something just so satisfying about making real stuff you can use, or wear, or wash yourself with or whatever (I also briefly got into soapmaking).

If you want to chat about basically any craft (or just lurk and look at pretty projects, that's ok too), I've been keeping a megalist of relevant communities and magazines here https://lemm.ee/post/224890. And if anyone reading this runs a related one that should be on the list please DM me to be added!

Are you on matrix? It is not letting me DM for some reason.

Oh weird! Been chatting to plenty of people so it works in general but maybe our instances are having issues today. I am not on Matrix yet, should probably sort that out this weekend really. Just sent you a test DM see if it's broken both ways

Dice making is cool! I’ve been wanting to get a 3d printer to print some components for my skates!

You'll buy it to make one thing and suddenly you're printing everything and your whole life is made of plastic. Totes worth it though lol.

This sounds so cool and I wish I had the time to try it all but I hardly have the time to knit as much as I used to :D
