The Knitking KK93 knitting machine is set up and I've done a few sample rows. Everything seems to work, so I think the next step is to pick a simple knitting machine project and make it. It will probably be awhile before I advance to programming it with its punch cards. #knitting #machineknitting

@yaelwrites Why keep the sticker when you can let it go?

@hacks4pancakes My own Trek knowledge isn't deep or broad enough to do the whole song justice, but I will contribute:

10 Warps a Leaping

@hacks4pancakes This is begging for a Star Trek-themed 12 days of Christmas.

@nitrokey Congratulations!

I have finished all of the gifts I had planned to weave for this holiday season, which means the next project is completely up to me!

I think I'm actually going to try out the Brother knitting machine I got for free last month, but have been too busy weaving to set up. #knitting #machineknitting

@katherined Hope you are having a great birthday! Looks like it's off to a good start!

@katherined For now! AI is coming for my non-paying parody job!

@golemwire I honestly don't know, it's just something that I find my brain doing automatically when someone says something that triggers a song in my mind. This one was triggered by someone referring to Mastodon as "Tootville".

"Maybe Fediverse," he thought, "isn't driven by hate."
"There are no algorithms that tally and rate!"
And what happened then? Well...in Tootville they say,
That the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day!
And the minute his heart didn't feel quite so tight,
He whizzed with new posts through the bright morning light,
And he posted good posts! And his kindness was loosed!
And he, HE HIMSELF! The Grinch's posts got REAL boosts!

@JoanESheldon Thank you! It makes me want to experiment with the same pattern but different colored linen warps with black weft, and colored warp and weft.

@elshid Thank you so much! One of the most rewarding things about this hobby is having something tangible and long-lasting to show for the effort. Being able to share it with someone else as a gift makes it even better.

@aparrish Thanks!

@Kymberly Very nice! What will the finished product be?

He HADN'T stopped Fediverse from coming! It CAME!
Because of good mods, it came just the same!
And the Grinch, with his grinch-face-ice-cold at his screen,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "What does this mean?"
"It came despite trolling! Despite all of my bots!"
"It came despite politics, and my hateful thoughts!"
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!

@zudn Thanks!

@danyork Thank you! I'm particularly pleased with it.

@neglesaks@mstdn.io Thank you!
