Thanks for sharing! I set the feed up to capture posts from last year from the event account, but I didn't go through and manually add others' posts (because feeds don't just DO that here). But it should capture all things #FastenOffYAL going forward!

New feed which captures #FastenOffYAL, #FOYAL, and mentions of our event account! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Follow to keep abreast of event info. Kudos to FOYAL organizer @anniebeeknits.bsky.social for this!

(Caveat: It won't have everything from 2024, but it will be ready for 2025's kickoff.)

Hello to all of the crafty yarn lovers of Bsky! 🧶 Today I am sharing my finished "Himbeerwellen" mitts, a sideways-constructed slip-stitch #Crochet pattern by Osswald Design. This was the last project I cast-on in 2024 for the #FastenOffYAL and is my first finished WIP entry for the #BingoYAL2025. ❤️

I finally got pics of my first 2 finished knitting projects for the 2025 #FastenOffYAL. The "Arkenstone" sweater & "Arkenstone Hat" were designed by Orchard House Editing and Design. I love the combo of the intricate stitch pattern & overall shape of the sweater, plus the crown detail on the hat! 💙
