The recording of our final video panel is up! Here are some funny autocaptioning errors that needed to be corrected for the subtitles:
Tin Can Knits = ten candidates
crochet = currency
yarn = urine
Celsius = they see us

@knotbadbritt designs #crochet and #TunisianCrochet patterns, specializing in advanced beginner designs which are easy to memorize. She certainly amplifies the beauty of crochet with the bold geometric patterns of her Bamako Pillow! knotbadbritt.com/patterns/p/… #FastenOffYAL

The #FastenOffYAL has added ask-me-anything sessions with participating designers this year! These fun q&a sessions last for half an hour, and are held on various platforms
I'll be the featured designer tomorrow night (Dec 23) from 10:30 to 11pm EST (UTC -5) here on Twitter!

Heads-up: We're doing designer Ask Me Anythings (AMAs)! This is where stitchers can ask our participating designers questions in real time. They'll happen on either Discord, Instagram, or Twitter. First one is later today, see instagram.com/fastenoffyal for more info! #FastenOffYAL

It's time to kick off a Scavenger Hunt!
Here's how we play: I'll start you off with a prompt and you find a pattern in the FOYAL database that fits. Come back here and post a link with the pattern and designer name, and then you set us on the next round of the Hunt.

Sometimes you just want to pick two colors and watch them play. No stranded colorwork, just vibes. That's what AnnieBee Knits is bringing with Hue and Value shawl. Thinking about colors is half the fun. Check out more: wipinsanity.com/fastenoffyal…

"Isn't this #RavelryAccessibility thing just a conspiracy among people who are unreasonably angry at @ravelry that the colours have been changed?" - a thread:

Yesterday I logged out of Ravelry. It feels very final.
Apparently I was not wrong to do so. Classic got shoved off a cliff at 9am central, apparently. March 31 wasn't its last day, but rather its enthusiastic execution.
Here is my #RavelryAccessibility story: long🧵

I don’t opine a lot, but it’s the last day of the Classic Rav skin, and the first day of the solidarity logout to support those who can’t access Ravelry. I grieve for those who have been hurt and dismissed. I created YarnDatabase.com so they could shop and craft safely. 🧶
I’ve spent the last 8 months finding the #OffRav shops for hundreds of designers. You can create a favorites list if you register. Here’s the list yarndatabase.com/a-z-designe… and here’s the same info in a spreadsheet. yarndatabase.com/designers/ #RavelryAccessibility
I'm one of the people affected by the new design @ravelry introduced last summer. I have barely visited the site since, only to subtract my data and am currently joining the #Ravelry boycott. Here's my story, a thread about #RavelryAccessibility
I will not return to a life with Ravelry or spend a dime there, they are not worth it. Over time I discovered new people, communities, events and ways to keep track of my data.
