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

Replying to @knotbadbritt
@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

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…

Stop. Sharing. Ravelry. Screenshots.
They. Can. Cause. Migraines.
Stop hurting people.
Solace.in.Stitches retweeted
Do I expect ravelry to listen to the people who are logging out?
Not really.
But screaming into the void is our only option at this point, so let us have it and stop being an ableist jerk.

"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

If you're #OffRav logged out of Ravelry because of #RavelryAccessibility, and jonesing for patterns, we have over two thousand patterns in our searchable database: wipinsanity.com/indy-event/s…

If you, like me, are sickened by the recent #RavelryAccessibility lies and denials going 'round the Internet and want to DO something, there's this! instagram.com/p/CMsL8kSpLmU/…

Accessibility will never be a hot topic. It's not sexy.
But it's necessary we talk about this, we try to do what we can to help make whatever we can Accessible. The more we make Accessible, the better.
