Oh, yay! I just switched over to using Vivaldi, but I’m happy to be able to recommend Firefox again. (Vivaldi has a lot of customizable components and will be a bit much for some folks.) Love their statement on search: vivaldi.com/blog/keep-ex...

Anyone have recommendations for ways to do card-sorting / collection structure activities digitally? We had sticky notes in person, and I need to follow up online.
MS Visio seemed like it should work, but it’s so irritating! The canvas keeps expanding and it’s responsive in all the wrong ways.

#ShowMeYourKnits theme this week is gray. My favourite grays are weird neutrals that I can wear around bright colours.
This gray yarn from @indigodragonfly.bsky.social has interesting blue and yellow undertones. It kept the knitting interesting!

@ambahobrien.bsky.social plays with garter stitch in unusual ways. This is her Astria shawl. My yarn is a dark and moody set of miniskeins by @gobsmackedyarn.bsky.social
I just fixed a few snags in this shawl from all the wear it gets! 🧶

Frogging old wips is so satisfying! I found some very crumpled knits (and swirly interchangeable cables) too. What are you going to reuse the yarn for?

It looks great as a vest! What a smart idea for using up your scraps. And then it’s also full of memories of past projects! 💚

Thanks! It is a beautiful shade at the cusp between green and yellow. The yarn is by Emma @botanicalfibres.bsky.social - she uses natural dyes and is a lovely human! I love her yarn in textured stitches.

Continuing my fine tradition of knitting your designs in green, your least favourite colour :) It’s a great pattern. This’ll be my second pair.
